You can tell I'm from the country see I'm from out of town But I'm beginning to catch on I'm letting my hair down I've been a' rocking I've been a' rollin' I guess to some folks I look foolish just let it make a fool out of me I have worked in fields of cotton I have worked in fields of corn But I've seen nothing like it since the day that I was born I walked in a crowded dance hall and I didn't know a soul Some hillbillies started picking everybody rocked and rolled I have spent all the egg money corn and cotton I have sold I'll mortgage my old homestead stay in town to rock and roll
