Your Country Boy
Yearning Hearts: A Country Boy's Plea for Love
Lyrics
You called me Country Jimmy the night you walked away
You referred to me as "Country Jimmy" on the night you left
With one who promised you a life of joy
You departed with someone who promised a joyful life
You'd thought my life's too simple and your was much too gay
You believed my life was too simple, and yours was more exciting
To spend that livin' with a country boy
You thought it wasn't fitting to live with a country boy
While you're livin' in the city with riches at your door
You're now living in the city with wealth and opportunities
Is this your love is this your kind of joy
Questioning whether this urban life is the love and joy you sought
How do you find there's something missin' does your heart cry out for more
Wondering if something is missing, if your heart yearns for more
Do you sometimes miss your country boy
Asking if you sometimes miss the companionship of your country boy

I'm writing you this letter I write you every day
Expressing through a letter, a daily occurrence
I hope that you received the ones before
Hoping the recipient received previous letters
But I've heard not one word from you and every day I pray
No response received, praying for acknowledgment
That you will not forget your country boy
Emphasizing the hope that you won't forget your country boy
Well it's time to end this letter the light of dawn is near
Ending the letter as dawn approaches, signaling the end of a lonely night
A lonely night has passed but there'll be more
Reflecting on the passing of a lonely night and anticipating more
Just one thing more and closing for all the world to hear
Concluding the letter with one more important plea for all to hear
Come home I love you signed your country boy
Inviting the person to come home with a declaration of love
