Lonesome City Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A country girl leaves home With a dream of what she'll find Leavin' what she's always felt above Leavin' with a future that she's seen inside her mind Lookin' for a taste of life and love [Chorus] If there's magic in the city, it's a pity 'Cause I ain't seen none yet It's that country life I can't forget And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place Just before she steps aboard that train If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around And trade away these Lonesome City blues [Verse 2] A country girl is bored With all the folks she's known so well Bored with all the faces that she's seen Bored with all the gossip that the grown-ups find to tell Lookin' for a way to fill a need [Chorus] If there's magic in the city, it's a pity 'Cause I ain't seen none yet And it's that country life I can't forget And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place Just before she steps aboard that train If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around Trade away these Lonesome City blues [Outro] And trade away these Lonesome City blues And trade away these Lonesome City blues Trade away
