i was just a country boy in memphis tenessee
where i was born and raised home sweet home to me
working  night and day in a country bar
singing country songs playing my guitar

singing to the folk with a country song
try to earn a dollar try get along
working day and night my guitar and me
in the place where i was raised in memphis tennesee
