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 yours was much too gay
To spend it living with a country boy 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
