Country Boy
Embracing the Heartland Harmony: Tim Buckley's Country Tale
Lyrics
I'm just a country boy
I identify as a country boy
I've got sand all in my shoes, I met a
I have sand in my shoes; I encountered
Met a big city woman, got the
Encountered a woman from the big city; experienced
Got the big city blues i got the
Feeling down, affected by the city lifestyle; I have
Got the big city blues
-I don't want your sympathy
I don't seek your sympathy
And I don't want your pity
I don't seek your pity
Oh let me be let me be
Requesting to be left alone
Oh let me be let me be
-A country boy
Asserting identity as a country boy
Big city women no you don't know my mind
City women can't understand my thoughts
You can't love me with a feeling
Love requires a deeper connection, not just emotions
You can't, can't satisfy my mind
City life cannot fulfill my needs
No, can't satisfy my mind
-I don't want your sympathy
Not seeking sympathy
I don't want your pity
Not seeking pity
Oh let me be let me be
Requesting to be left alone
Oh let me be let me be
-A country boy
Asserting identity as a country boy
Oh look going back home there she goes
Observing someone going back to Memphis
Back down to Memphis, Tennessee
Referring to Memphis, Tennessee
I've got a woman who thinks the world of me
I have a woman who deeply cares for me
And now, love me all the time
She loves me consistently
And now, gonna love me all the time
-I don't want your sympathy
Not seeking sympathy
And I don't want your pity
Not seeking pity
Oh let me be let me be
Requesting to be left alone
Oh let me be let me be
-A country boy a country boy
Asserting identity as a country boy
I'm just a country boy
Identifying as a country boy
Got sand all in my shoes, I met a
I have sand in my shoes; I encountered
Met a big city woman got the
Encountered a woman from the big city; experienced
Got the big city blues i got the
Feeling down, affected by the city lifestyle; I have
Got the big city blues
-I don't want your sympathy
Not seeking sympathy
And i don't want your pity oh let me be
Not seeking pity; requesting to be left alone
Let me be oh let me be
Requesting to be left alone
Let me be
-A country boy a country boy
Asserting identity as a country boy
