Bye-bye country boy
You've been a joy, a shiny toy
Glad we played your County Fair
I'm glad you came to see me there

I sang that song, looked right at you
You came backstage like I knew you'd do
It's a doggone shame our week is through
Bye-bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

Bye-bye country boy
Your Sunday clothes, you brought a rose
I love the hot-rod moonlight spins
Those sleepy roomy country inns

Your voice sends my world aways
Those sunny laughing picnic days
You've been a joy, a shiny toy
Bye-bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

Bye-bye country boy
It's time to go, it's closing show
You still think that I'm a star
Just shows how hazy dumb you are

If you'd just say, 'Hey, stick around'
I'd tell my band I ain't leavin' town
But you don't dream I'd settle down
Do you, country boy, sweet shy country boy?

Bye-bye country boy
I got to pack, I can't look back
Don't come 'round and say goodbye
You mustn't see a big star cry

But once I'm home in old L.A.
My heart and mind will be miles away
Still wishing you had made me stay
Bye-bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

You've been a joy, a shiny toy
I got to pack, I can't look back
You've been a joy, a shiny toy
I got to pack, I can't look back

You've been a joy, a shiny toy
I got to pack, I can't look back
You've been a joy, a shiny toy
I got to pack, I can't look back
