Lyrics
send it in care of the sunday mission
Break the news to the folks back home?, i got a pipe upside my head
Hello mamma and dad i had to call collect, they re still worryin bout their boy
Well he hadn t been there an hour, that that country boy is me
Box number ten., things sure ended up a mess Box, and if you d only send me some money
Cause i ain t got a cent to my name, hello mamma and dad i had to call collect, and she left him in a cheap hotel
that that country boy is me
cause i ain t got a cent to my name
and tonight they say it s gonna rain
they re still worryin bout their boy
box number ten.
He s gonna make it in the city, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, and tonight they say it s gonna rain
But this boy s goin home soon s he get s the fare, he s gonna make it in the city
Box number ten., and tonight they say it s gonna rain
Back in southern illinois, but in the process i got messed up too
And she left him in a cheap hotel, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway Jim, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway
Send it in care of the sunday mission, playin guitar in the studio Box, things sure ended up a mess
that that country boy is me
cause i ain t got a cent to my name
And if you d only send me some money, and she left him in a cheap hotel #10, playin guitar in the studio
I ll be back on my feet again, hello mamma and dad i had to call collect
Box number ten., i got a pipe upside my head #10, that that country boy is me
Saying and how am i gonna ever, because as soon as i got my bread Jim, cause i ain t got a cent to my name
It s easy for you to see, out of southern illinois #10, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway
and tonight they say it s gonna rain
and tonight they say it s gonna rain
Hello mamma and dad i had to call collect, box number ten.
And tonight they say it s gonna rain, that that country boy is me, they re still worryin bout their boy
well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway
Took my money and my guitar, box number ten.
Well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway
Cause i ain t got a cent to my name, well he hadn t been there an hour
Break the news to the folks back home?, you know she took him for his money, cause i ain t got a cent to my name
He s gonna make it in the city, send it in care of the sunday mission, break the news to the folks back home?
Well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway
because as soon as i got my bread
Well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, i got a pipe upside my head
That that country boy is me, and if you d only send me some money
I ll be back on my feet again, back in southern illinois Box, i ll be back on my feet again
but this boy s goin home soon s he get s the fare
Playin guitar in the studio, playin guitar in the studio
i was gonna be a great success
Well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, box number ten., he s gonna make it in the city
Box number ten., things sure ended up a mess, when he met a broadway flower
Send it in care of the sunday mission, break the news to the folks back home? Box, send it in care of the sunday mission
and she left him in a cheap hotel
Well i m sleepin in the hotel doorway, out of southern illinois Box, hello mamma and dad i had to call collect
i was gonna be a great success
Took my money and my guitar, he s gonna make it in the city Box, but this boy s goin home soon s he get s the fare
