Country Willie Lyrics - Souvenirs - Willie Nelson

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 your 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 

(steel)

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
