Ain't No Place For A Country Boy

Ain't No Place For A Country Boy - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)

I pack my clothes in a cardboard box

And mama packed my lunch

I walk down to the highway

And caught a trails ways bus

I woke up in the city

Stepped down on the curb

And the strangest lookin' people

And sounds I've never heard

It ain't no place for a country boy

It ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy

But it ain't no place for me

I keep my nineteen dollars

Stuck way down in my shoe

It cost me seven fifty

For a dirty sleepin' room

My window faced the alley

And the city smells were strong

I couldn't sleep for horns and sirens

Blowin' all night long

It ain't no place for a country boy

It ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy

But it ain't no place for me

I didn't even bother

To unpack the clothes

That I brought

Some man paid me ten dollars

For grandpas pocket watch

I got off the Trails ways bus the same place

I got on

My head is full of memories

Walkin' down the road to home

It ain't no place for a country boy

It ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy

But it ain't no place for me

It ain't no place for a country boy

It ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy

But it ain't no place for me
