Everytown Blues

[Verse] In a small town, where the folks all know your name Where the streets are lined with tumbleweeds and the fields all look the same Where the stars shine bright in the clear night sky Oh, I'm just a country boy, trying to get by In a farmhouse with a broken front porch swing Where the crickets sing their midnight lullaby, it's a peaceful thing Where the scent of honeysuckle lingers in the air Oh, I'm just a country boy, burdened with despair [Verse 2] Ridin' down that old dirt road, in my rusty pickup truck Through the golden fields of corn, where the scarecrows try to buck Passin' by the red barn, where memories still roam Oh, I'm just a country boy, yearning to be free to roam [Verse] In this small town Where the folks wear weary smiles And the streets are worn from endless miles I walk with a heavy heart Mile after mile [Verse 2] In this old farmhouse With a porch swing that's seen better days The crickets sing their melancholy praise As I carry the weight of my troubled ways [Chorus] Country born Country bred These golden fields are where I'm led With every step My heart's unfurled Just a country boy in this big old world [Verse] In this small town Where the sun sets on fields of gold And the stories of the past unfold I find my peace My heart's stronghold [Verse 2] In this old farmhouse Where the whispers of the wind remain I find solace from the world's disdain As I chase my dreams down memory lane [Chorus] Country born Country bred These rolling hills are where I'm led With every step My heart's unfurled Just a country boy in this big old world
