Bein' at most just a country boy innocent and all
I turned my face away from the farm, on the city I would call
Hey, what's doin' in the town of fortune and fame?
Bright lights a-glowin', I've come to make my name
You see I've got my ol' guitar, I'm not a beggin' fool
I play this town and a thousand more God knows I keep my cool
So what's a missin'? I've given my word the best
And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been blessed
My my, can't you see the warnin'
When the fires burn in hell you better pay
Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the mornin'
Now's your chance you better get away
Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep
