Country Lay on My Mind Lyrics
Country Lay on My Mind - Billy Boy/Mary Lou
Written by：Red Lane
I stepped out of the rain into a downtown city cafe
And I saw him at the counter
Looking lonesome at the rain
I sat down beside him
And I ordered us some coffee
He smiled and said
Hello city country is my name
And I'm here to play your city game
I saw there in his eyes such a pure
And simple beauty
That could not have been bred
Upon these dark and dingy streets
I liked the look he gave me
And I asked him if he'd stay
And he said
Maybe for a while till I get back on my feet
And I sure could use a place to sleep
Lay lay country lay on my mind
Home is where the lovin'
Heart is beating free
Lay lay country lay on my mind
For deep inside these city lies
A whole lot of country in me
A whole lot of country in me
The days we spent laughin'
And just walkin' in the park
And the nights we spent in each other's arms
But time brought a change
That brought him tossed and tumbled sleep
And I heard him mumble
Somethin' about a baby and a farm
I've gotta go make sure they're safe and warm
I woke up this morning and I opened up my eyes
Just in time to see him walkin' out the door
But I had dreams and feelings
That would always keep me happy
Even though I knew
I wouldn't see him anymore
So I just let him close the door
Lay lay country lay on my mind
Home is were the lovin'
Heart is beating free
Lay lay country lay on my mind
For deep inside these city
Lies a whole lot of country in me
A whole lot of country in me
Lay lay country lay on my mind
Home is were the lovin'
Heart is beating free
Lay lay country lay on my mind
For deep inside these city lies
A whole lot of country in me
A whole lot of country in me
Lay lay country lay on my mind
Home is were the lovin'
Heart is beating free
Lay lay country lay
