Box #10 Lyrics by Stoney LaRue

Us Time

0

[Verse 1]
Well out of southern Illinois
Come a down home country boy
He's gonna make it in the city
Playin' guitar in the studio
Well he hadn't been there an hour
When he met a Broadway flower
You know she took him for his money
And she left him in a cheap motel

[Verse 2]
Well it's easy for you to see
That that country boy is me
Tell me how'm I ever gonna break the news
To the folks back home
Well I was gonna be a big success
But that sure ended up a mess
And in the process, I got messed up too

[Chorus]
Hello, mom and dad, I hate to call collect
But I ain't got a cent to my name
Sleepin' in the hotel doorway
And tonight, they say it's gonna rain
And if I could only get me some money
I'd be back on my feet again
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission Box Number 10, yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, out of southern Illinois
Still worry about their boy
But this boy's goin' home
Soon's he gets the fare
Well, as soon as I got the bread
I got a pop upside my head
You know they left me in an alley
Took my money and my guitar too

[Chorus]
Hello, mom and dad, I hate to call collect
But I ain't got a cent to my name
I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway
And tonight, they say it's gonna rain
And if I could only get me some money
Yeah, I'd be back on my feet again
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission Box Number 10
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission Box Number 10
