Well I wish I could say I've been walking a mile or two Trying to catch a ride walking down route 52 But I haven't Don't own blue suede shoes Said I'm just a country bumpkin and I Don't know nothing about the blues Well, I wish I could say I've been living east of this way Been riding on the horseback through Texas state But I haven't There's not much I can do Said I'm just a country bumpkin and I Don't know nothing about the blues I met a bluegrass musician Played the strings with his heart You'd thought he'd sold his soul the way he played his guitar But he hadn't I met that guy down in New Orleans Said I'm just a country bumpkin But you don't know half the places I've been Well i wish i could say I own all the land But all's I've got is this piece of wood I hold in my hand But I'm happy And my grass is green Said I'm just a country bumpkin But I'm not afraid to follow my dreams
