Lonesome City Blues Lyrics by Sandy Posey

Born to Be Hurt: The Anthology 1966-1982

0

[Verse 1]
A country girl leaves home
With a dream of what she'll find
Leavin' what she's always felt above
Leavin' with a future that she's seen inside her mind
Lookin' for a taste of life and love
[Chorus]
If there's magic in the city, it's a pity
'Cause I ain't seen none yet
It's that country life I can't forget
And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place
Just before she steps aboard that train
If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around
And trade away these Lonesome City blues
[Verse 2]
A country girl is bored
With all the folks she's known so well
Bored with all the faces that she's seen
Bored with all the gossip that the grown-ups find to tell
Lookin' for a way to fill a need
[Chorus]
If there's magic in the city, it's a pity
'Cause I ain't seen none yet
And it's that country life I can't forget
And I'd gladly trade the shoes upon my feet to take her place
Just before she steps aboard that train
If I were in her shoes I know I'd turn around, turn around
Trade away these Lonesome City blues
[Outro]
And trade away these Lonesome City blues
And trade away these Lonesome City blues
Trade away
