You called me country Willie 
The night you walked away
With the one who promised you a life of joy
You thought my life too simple 
And your was much too gay
To spend it living with a country boy
I'm writing you this letter 
I write you every day
I hope that you've received the ones before
But I've heard not one word from you 
And every day I pray
That you will not forget your country boy
While you're living in the city 
With riches round your door
Is this your love 
Is this your kind of joy
Or do you find 
There's something missing 
Does your heart cry out for more
And do you sometimes miss your country boy

A cottage in the country 
With roses round the door
Could not compete 
With flashing city lights
But it's all I have to offer 
Except for one thing more
A heart so filled with love 
That it could die
Well it's time to end this letter 
The light of dawn is near
A lonely night has passed 
But there'll be more
Just one more thing in closing 
For all the world to hear
Come home I love you 
Signed your country boy
