You called me Country Jimmy the night you walked away

With one who promised you a life of joy

You'd thought my life's too simple and your was much too gay

To spend that livin' with a country boy

While you're livin' in the city with riches at your door

Is this your love is this your kind of joy

How do you find there's something missin' does your heart cry out for more

Do you sometimes miss your country boy

[ guitar ]

I'm writing you this letter I write you every day

I hope that you recieved 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

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 thing more and closing for all the world to hear

Come home I love you signed your country boy
