Country Willie

[Verse] 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 yours was much too gay To spend it living with a country boy So 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 around 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 A cottage in the country with roses around 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
