It feels like ice water down in my veins flowing like river full of heartache and pain
Losing that woman I'm payin' my dues just a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues

Still there's a fire down in my soul burning with a feeling I can't control
She says it's over but I can't turn loose just a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues

Fast city nights have taught me the truth love comes and goes you win or you lose
When it's all over it's hard to turn loose for a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues

[ guitar ]

Somebody turn on the jukebox and play Don't be Cruel
For a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues
For a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues yeah yeah
