The city streets are friendless and cold I walk them mile after mile I'm a country boy a-singin' the blues The blues, country style Nobody stops to tell me hello Not even one friendly smile I'm a country boy alone with the blues The blues, country style One hundred tears make one city block Two thousand tears make a mile I'm a country boy with miles of blues The blues, country style Tonight, in dreams, I'm goin' back home And I'll be happy awhile But I know at dawn, I wake with the blues The blues, country style I'm a country boy a-singin' the blues The blues, country style
