Country Boy - John Lee Hooker

I ain’t nothin' but a country boy

Driftin' from town to town

I ain’t nothin' but a country boy

Driftin' from town to town

Got no place, ooh yeah

To call my home

Sometime in travellin'

I travel when nights are blue

Sometime my night

My night so dark and blue

But I keep on travellin'

No place to lay my worried head

I’m just a country boy

Driftin' from town to town

Driftin' from town to town

I ain’t got no place

To lay my worried head, baby

Sometime I lay down on the highway

I cry to take my rest

I hear a freight train howlin'

I drown my head and run

I’m just a country boy

Driftin' from town to town, have mercy

Now one night I was travellin'

I saw a light in the winter

I was so cold at night

And my clothes were soakin' wet

I walked on to the door

I knocked on the door

A little girl come to the door

She said, «Mister, what do you want»

I said, «It's cold outside, baby»

She looked at me and said

«Come on in, I wanna talk to you»

I got a brother who left home

He was twelve years old

Just like the prodigal son

I know you’d find him
