The Country Boy
Did you ever have a nickel
And wish you had a dime?
Did you ever try to search your soul
But could not find your mind?
Did you ever lay your body down
With someone that don't love you?
The country boy has been there
That's what makes him sing the blues
It's not the drinks you bought him
It's not the tips you gave
From the rocking of his cradle
To the covering of his grave
You'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through
The country boy has been there
That's what makes him sing the blues
When he sings about a love gone wrong
There's no tears in his eyes
But the lonely knows he's crying out
All the hurt he feels inside
He 's singing to their broken hearts
That's all that's left to do
The country boy has been there
That's what makes him sing the blues
It's not the drinks you bought him
It's not the tips you gave
From the rocking of his cradle
To the covering of his grave
You'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through
The country boy has been there
That's what makes him sing the blues
El Chico del Campo
Alguna vez tuviste un centavo
Y deseaste tener una moneda de diez centavos?
Alguna vez intentaste buscar tu alma
Pero no pudiste encontrar tu mente?
Alguna vez acostaste tu cuerpo
Con alguien que no te ama?
El chico del campo ha estado allí
Eso es lo que lo hace cantar blues
No son las bebidas que le compraste
No son las propinas que diste
Desde el balanceo de su cuna
Hasta la cobertura de su tumba
Nunca sabrás la soledad y tristeza que atraviesa
El chico del campo ha estado allí
Eso es lo que lo hace cantar blues
Cuando canta sobre un amor fallido
No hay lágrimas en sus ojos
Pero el solitario sabe que está gritando
Todo el dolor que siente por dentro
Él canta para sus corazones rotos
Eso es todo lo que le queda por hacer
El chico del campo ha estado allí
Eso es lo que lo hace cantar blues
No son las bebidas que le compraste
No son las propinas que diste
Desde el balanceo de su cuna
Hasta la cobertura de su tumba
Nunca sabrás la soledad y tristeza que atraviesa
El chico del campo ha estado allí
Eso es lo que lo hace cantar blues
