Country Bound Preterition

I'm just an old country boy City life's not for me In the country I felt free This city life is chokin me I got my clothes packed in a matchbox A pocket full of affairs My thumb up in the air And I'm country bound, I swear Had to hobo me a train This boy was country bound Far from that city crowd Back to my old hometown an original poem by Daniel Turner

I agree, country life for me. : ) I have really enjoyed reading your poetry today and I look forward to coming back and reading more. I like cowboy poems. Jerry T. Curtis is really good at cowboy poems too.

Thank you Robert. Just trying to see if I understood what I was supposed to be writing. It was fun to write anyway, probably should add more. Peace my friend, we country boys have to stick together:) Sorry about OU. Oh well, there's always next year.

Using the song as an example this is what I came up with. We'll see. I'm glad you dropped in, at least now I don't feel like such an idiot. I wasn't really understanding of what I was supposed to be writing. Thanks for the smile:):)
