I came here from a little town called Goldie BowlNot too much more than just a white spot in the roadAnd I still had country all over my broken shoeBroken shoeSo I bought some alligators, a tailor-made sharkskin suitThat very same night I went out to see the big townLord, I roared in every bar and night spot that I foundWhen I woke next morning I was richer by one wineSo I didn't know if she expected me to treat her rightThat's when I took my first walk through the streets of the cityHow that woman took me in, it's a pityThe way she lived, it almost got me downShe was known in every bar and night spotIn big city townBut still I tried to do right and never let her knowLet her knowThat she wouldn't fit in too well with the...Folk back in Goldie BowlBut she knew all the ways of loveShe made me fallThen she left me for anotherShe never cared for me at allNow I've counted all the cracks in the sidewalks of the cityHow that woman hurt my soul and made me fallAnd I'm so proud, it's a pityShe turned me every way that she turned me downShe left me searching for answers and never barredIn big city townAnd I'm so proud, it's a pity
