[Verse 1]
Sky ain’t been raining and the crops ain’t been growing
It’s a small town shame, all up and down main
Mom & Pops are closing 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 singing 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
Driving around in this town is dragging me down

This ain’t the place that I knew
And it’s got this country boy, country boy singing 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 drowning it out
Like the big cities do and it’s got this country boy singing 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
Driving around this town is dragging me down
This ain’t the place that I knew
And it’s got this country boy, country boy singing 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
Driving around this town is dragging me down
This ain’t the place that I knew
And it’s got this country boy (Country boy), country boy singing the blues (Singing the blues)

[Outro]
It’s got this country boy, country boy singing the blues
