Country Willie

Country Willie - Ammons/Lewis & Johnson

You called me Country Willie the night you walked away

With the one who promised you a life of joy

You thought my life too simple and your was much too gay

To spend it living with a country boy

So I'm writing you this letter I write you every day

I hope that you've received the ones before

But I've heard not one word from you and every day I pray

That you will not forget your country boy

While you're living in the city with riches round your door

Is this your love is this your kind of joy

Or do you find there's something missing

Does your heart cry out for more

And do you sometimes miss your country boy

A cottage in the country with roses round the door

Could not compete with flashing city lights

But it's all I have to offer except for one thing more

A heart so filled with love that it could die

Well it's time to end this letter the light of dawn is near

A lonely night has passed but there'll be more

Just one more thing in closing for all the world to hear

Come home I love you signed your country boy
