Songs Title : lord have mercy on a country boy
Well I grew up wild and free
Walkin ' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn ' t no place I couldn ' t go
With a 22 rifle and a fishin ' pole
Well I live in the city but don ' t fit in
You know it ' s a pity the shape I ' m in
Well I got no home and I got no choice
Oh Lord have mercy on a country boy
When I was young I remember well
I ' d hunt the wild turkey and bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin ' lines tied to the willow limb
Well I live in the city but don ' t fit in
You know it ' s a pity the shape I ' m in
Well I got no home and I got no choice
Oh Lord have mercy on a country boy
Well they damned the river they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There ' s a laundromat and a barbershop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot
Well I live in the city but don ' t fit in
You know it ' s a pity the shape I ' m in
Well I got no home and I got no choice
Oh Lord have mercy on a country boy
Well I live in the city but don ' t fit in
You know it ' s a pity the shape I ' m in
Well I got no home and I got no choice
Oh Lord have mercy on a country boy
Oh Lord have mercy on a country boy
