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

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…
