I ain't nothin' but a country boy   Driftin' from town to town   I ain't nothin' but a country boy   Driftin' from town to town   Got no place, ooh yeah   To call my home      Sometime in travellin'   I travel when nights are blue   Sometime my night   My night so dark and blue   But I keep on travellin'   No place to lay my worried head      I'm just a country boy   Driftin' from town to town   Driftin' from town to town   I ain't got no place   To lay my worried head, baby      Sometime I lay down on the highway   I cry to take my rest   I hear a freight train howlin'   I drown my head and run   I'm just a country boy   Driftin' from town to town, have mercy      Now one night I was travellin'   I saw a light in the winter   I was so cold at night   And my clothes were soakin' wet   I walked on to the door   I knocked on the door      A little girl come to the door   She said, "Mister, what do you want"   I said, "It's cold outside, baby"   She looked at me and said   "Come on in, I wanna talk to you"      I got a brother who left home   He was twelve years old   Just like the prodigal son   I know you'd find him
