Ain't No Place for a Country Boy

I didn't even bother to unpack the clothes that I brought
My head is full of memories, walkin' down the road to home

To the strangest lookin' people and sounds I've never heard

I woke up in the city stepped down on the curb

It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be
I got off the trailways bus, the same place I got on

Some man paid me ten dollars for grandpa's pocket watch
It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

My window faced the alley and the city smells were strong
It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me
It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me
It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me
It cost me seven fifty for a dirty sleepin' room
It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be
It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

I couldn't sleep for horns and sirens blowin' all night long
I keep my nineteen dollars, stuck way down in my shoe
