Country Willie

作曲：Willie Nelson

作词：Willie Nelson

You called me country Willie

The night you walked away

With the one who promised you a life of joy

And you thought my life too simple

And yours was much too gay

To spend it living with a country boy

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

You're living in the city

With riches at 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 round 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

It's time to end this letter

The light of dawn is near

A lonely night has passed but there'll be more

And just one more thing in closing

For all the world to hear

"Come home, I love you, signed, your country boy"
