Country Boy, lyric by Band, The

from the songs album Jericho

Never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
Of the sweetest girl in town.
I'm never gonna ask her if she'll marry me
'cause i know she'll turn me down.

Because i'm just a country boy
And money have i none
Oh, but i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun

Never could afford no store-bought ring
With a sparkly diamond stone.
All i have to offer is a love that's true,
It's the only one i own.

And i'm just a country boy
And money, money have i none.
Oh, but i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun.

Ain't gonna marry in the fall,
Never gonna marry in the spring
'cause i am in love with a pretty little girl
That wears a diamond ring.

And i'm, i'm just a country boy
And money, money have i none.
Oh, but i've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
