Country Boy In Love

by on
This was the first song I wrote for our band “Out-of-Town” with Julie Fischer and the Fink boys. Somehow we don’t have any pictures from those days of playing festivals, practicing in the garage, or recording our three tunes in Nashville but the pic above was from that time frame. Years later, this turned out to be one of Jen’s favorite songs I have recorded… I can’t say it is any good, but it is different. 🙂

My engines cooling on a summer evening/ The country’s quite tonight/ My old Ford radio has been keeping me company/ I’ve been driving a while/ Up and down these old country roads/ I almost did stop by/ But every time I passed your door my heart it just ran wild/ 

Sun is setting behind the hills before me/ I guess it’s time to go home/ Supper is waiting and my chores need tend-ing/ I’m so lonely and cold/ Now tomorrow I’m stopping going to lay it on the line/ Tell her that I love her and I want her for mine/ No city slicker is going to keep me from getting her/ Going to tell her I love her this time. 

Chorus: Cause this Country Boy’s In Love/ And he likes what he found/ She can tell her city bo’ to pack his fancy clothes and head it on out of town/ Cause this Country Boy’s In Love/ I might have over stepped my bounds/ I know my pickup truck well it just don’t match up to the sports car he drives around/ But this Country Boy’s in Love with the country girl he found/ No maybe I can’t compete with those city streets/ But you can betcha I’ll stand my ground. 

No my mind is racing faster/ But I’m driving slow/ And I’m trying to figure whether to stop or let her go/ But who is kidding who/ I know I’m in love/ So stop and tell her what your thinking of.
