Just a Country Boy

Lyrics

I had a very old friend who never knew about me He never knew but he gave me everything I need A way of life that shows in everything I say and do He gave me enough to sing the blues Just a country boy from Memphis Tennessee No one could have known what fate meant him to be Became a voice that could ring with every feeling ever known But no words could tell just what he meant to me Oh I was only ten years old But it seems like yesterday When I first heard him on the radio And his music made me dance all night And his sad songs made me cry I'll always feel the same way 'til I die And his music made me dance all night And his sad songs made me cry I'll always feel the same way 'til I die I was one of the crowd who worshiped him I was one of the crowd who told him he was king I was one of the crowd he had to prove himself to time and time again And no mortal man could ever stand the strain Oh I was only ten years old But it seems like yesterday When I first heard him on the radio And his music made me dance all night And his sad songs made me cry I'll always feel the same way 'til I die I'll always feel the same way 'til I die I'll always feel the same way 'til I die I'll always feel the same way 'til I die
