[Verse 1]
Sky ain't been rainin’, and the crops ain't been growin’
It's a small town shame, all up and down main
Mom & Pops are closin’ down
Out went the cornfields, along with the farms
They put in a concrete place to park cars
Like the big cities do, and it's got this country boy singin' the blues

[Chorus]
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale
And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues

[Verse 2]
Grandaddy told me "everything changes"
You wake up one day, all the gravel gets paved
And the old drive-in gets drove out
I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud
I guess all this hurry's been drownin' it out
Like the big cities do, and it's got this country boy singin' the blues

[Chorus]
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale
And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
[Refrain]
Maybe I'll take a dirt road
Turn on some "Blue Suede Shoes"
The King on my radio might help me change my tune

[Chorus]
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale
And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin’ around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy (country boy), country boy singin' the blues (singin’ the blues)

[Outro]
It's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
