i'm just a country boy lyrics

And I'm just a country boy
money have I none


but I've got silver in the stars
and gold in the morning sun

and gold in the morning sun.

I'm never gonna kiss the ruby lips
of the prettiest girl in town

I'm never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
for I know she'd turn me down.

'Cause I'm just a country boy
...

I never could afford a storebought ring
with a sparkling diamond stone

all I could afford was a loving heart

the only one I own.
I'm just a country boy
...
lf I'm strong.

Because I saw her today I saw her face
was a face I love and I knew
I had to run
