I am just a country boy money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars and gold in the morning sun

I'm never gonna kiss the ruby red lips of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her to marry me for I know she'll turn me down
For I am just a country boy...

I never could afford a store bought ring with the sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford was a loving heart the only one I own
For I am just a country boy...
And gold in morning sun
