What happened
to the country boy?
Did he take his blues to town?
What happened to the country boy
Did he take his blues to town
To look around to see what he'd find
There were bright lights, faster women
Things were happening all around
There were bright lights,
faster windin'
Things were happening all around
Though he looked around,
here's what he found
He's got his own style, playin'
On his country blues guitar
For the girls in the city
He plays his country blues guitar
For excitement, much more thrilling
What a groovy new thing he has found
The big crowds and the parties,
there was plenty of money around
The big crowds and the parties,
there was plenty of money around
But he met some friends,
all were rollin' in and rollin' around
Yes, he called her an old girl,
a country girl to some
But she said, sorry,
as long as you've been gone
There isn't any love around
See what happened to the country boy
He took his blues back to the country
See what happened to the country boy
He took his blues back to the country
He looked around,
saw what she'd found
Now he's a blue -ish blue
swingin' around
You
