Chris Ledoux - Ain't No Place For A Country Boy lyrics

I pack my clothes in a cardboard box and mama packed my lunch I walk down to the highway and caught a Trails Ways bus I woke up in the city stepped down on the curb And the strangest lookin' people and sounds I've never heard It ain't no place for a country boy it ain't no place to be It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me I keep my nineteen dollars stuck way down in my shoe It cost me seven fifty for a dirty sleepin' room My window faced the alley and the city smells were strong I couldn't sleep for horns and sirens blowin' all night long It ain't no place... I didn't even bother to unpack the clothes that I brought Some man paid me ten dollars for grandpas pocket watch I got off the Trails Ways bus the same place I got on My head is full of memories walkin' down the road to home It ain't no place...
