Sky ain't been rainin’, and the crops ain't been growin’

It's a small town shame, all up and down main

Mom & Pops are closin’ down

Out went the cornfields, along with the farms

They put in a concrete place to park cars

Like the big cities do

and it's got this country boy singin' the blues

Well I'm miles from Memphis

but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down

This ain't the place that I knew

And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues

Grandaddy told me "everything changes"

You wake up one day, all the gravel gets paved

And the old drive-in gets drove out

I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud

I guess all this hurry's been drownin' it out

Like the big cities do

and it's got this country boy singin' the blues

Well I'm miles from Memphis

but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down

This ain't the place that I knew

And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues

Maybe I'll take a dirt road

Turn on some "Blue Suede Shoes"

The King on my radio might help me change my tune

Well I'm miles from Memphis

but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down

This ain't the place that I knew

And it's got this country boy (country boy)

country boy singin' the blues (singin’ the blues)

It's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
