歌词
Well, out of Southern Illinois

Come a down home country boy.

He's gonna make it in the city

Playin' guitar in the studio.

Well he hadn't been there an hour,

You know she took him for his money

And she left him in a cheap hotel.

Oh, well, it's easy for you to see

That that country boy is me

Saying "And how am I gonna ever
那个乡下男孩就是我
break the news to the folks back home?"
不停地念叨着:"我该怎么
Well, I was gonna be a great success,
把这个消息告诉家里的亲人?”
Things sure ended up a mess,
我每次就要大获成功时
But in the process I got messed up too.
事情最终肯定是一团糟
"Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect

'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.

Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
因为我真的连一分钱都没有
And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
我正睡在酒店门口
And if you'd only send me some money
据说今晚就要下雨了
I'll be back on my feet again,
只要你们给我寄点钱来
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
我就能自己回家了
