did you ever have a nickel
and wish you had a dime?
did you ever try to search your soul
but could not find your mind?
did you ever lay your body down
with someone that don't love you?
the country boy has been there
that's what makes him sing the blues
it's not the drinks you bought him
it's not the tips you gave
from the rocking of his cradle
to the covering of his grave
you'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through
the country boy has been there
that's what makes him sing the blues
when he sings about a love gone wrong
there's no tears in his eyes
but the lonely knows he's crying out
all the hurt he feels inside
he s singing to their broken hearts
that's all that's left to do
the country boy has been there
that's what makes him sing the blues
it's not the drinks you bought him
it's not the tips you gave
from the rocking of his cradle
to the covering of his grave
you'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through
the country boy has been there
that's what makes him sing the blues
