Standin' on the subway
Tryin' to catch a freeway
Goin' up to Memphis to meet her
To see it my way
That little girl was doin' me wrong
And I'm just a country boy
I'm so far from my home
I wish I had a dollar
All I've got is diamonds
It's been a rainy night; have no time
Hey, baby, you know you're doing me wrong
I'm just your country boy, so much
I'm so far from my home
Fair deal at the cabaret last Tuesday
"Welcome home to nothing" she said this to me
Oh, Dino, take me home
I'm just a country girl, oh, babe
I won't do you no wrong
Foxy, Kim and Kelly
Told me that they loved me
Tried to make 'em happy
But I was insane
Yeah, babe, these little girls caused me pain
I'm goin' to New York city
And I 'aint going back there again
I hustled out of town, hustled down town
I went round a hole in the ground
Oh baby, New York's got me wrong, yeah
I'm just a country boy
I'm so far from my home
I'm just a country boy
I'm so far from my home
