I sit for hours up above the town Me and my old blue tick hound on a summer night Got you on my mind From time to time he tries to cheer me up But so far he ain’t had much luck nothing he can do Got these doggone blues
Moonlight shinin down on the river I remember swimmin together Down on main there’s a picture show All those nights on the very last row
I’m just a country boy This is how a country boy misses you Thinkin bout the better days Turnin back the memories That’s all I do I spend my days where we used to go Shootin tin cans off that old fence post I’m just a country boy And this is how a country boy misses you
This morning we drove by your house I couldn’t help but stop and get out saw your mama smile Said, how ya doin child? How bout somthin ice cold to drink No I ain’t heard from her all week, but I’ll tell her hi Tell her you stopped by
Fine ma’am I’ll be on my way Drove the back roads the rest of the day It dead ended in a field of corn I hung my head and laid on the horn
I’m just a country boy This is how a country boy misses you Thinkin bout the better days Turnin back the memories That’s all I do I spend my days where we used to go Shootin tin cans off that old fence post I’m just a country boy And this is how a country boy misses you
I guess these small town dreams will never come true That big city’s got a hold on you
Spend my days where we used to go Shootin tin cans off an old fence post I’m just a country boy And this is how a country boy misses you Misses you
