Lord Have Mercy On A Country Boy Lyrics
Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn't no place I couldn't go
With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole
[Chorus]
Well, I live in the city, but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home, and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
When I was young, I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and Bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb
[Chorus]
Well, they dammed the river, they dammed the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There's a laundromat and a barbershop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot
[Chorus x 2]
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn't no place I couldn't go
With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole
Well, I live in the city, but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home, and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
I'd hunt the wild turkey and Bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There's a laundromat and a barbershop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot

This is about a boy who grew up in the country. He lives in the city but he never fits in, he's out of shape, nothing's the same as where he grew up and nothing will ever replace that for him
I don't think it's supposed to be damned, but dammed, as in like an industrial dam.
It is supposed to be dammed. That's what happens when you copy and paste without proofreading.
Country music sucks shit.
I agree with walls on jericho!! =)
