georgia farm boy

Singer:box tops, the

his daddy was a simple man

just a red dirt georgia farmer

and his momma spent her young life havin' kids and balin' hay

he had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander

so he hopped a freight in waycross and wound up in l.a. lord

the cold nights had no pity on a waycross

georgia farm boy

most days he went hungry

then the summer came

he met a girl known on the strip as san francisco's mabel joy

destitutions child born of an l.a. street called shame"
