From the recording Songs Of Old Montgomery
Lyrics
MISUNDERSTOOD COUNTRY BOY
Words and Music by John Cannon
He’s just a misunderstood country boy who is acting out his life in his own way
And although his words may not rhyme he is singing them because it’s the time
For a misunderstood country boy
He’s just a misunderstood country boy who has fished in the rivers and slept in the pine
But he learned how to play the guitar since then he’s traveled near and far
That misunderstood country boy
Playing out his life on a toy
He’s just a misunderstood country boy who is trying to do the best he can
Though the world says he’s trying in vain, he keeps coming back time and time again
That misunderstood country boy
Arranging his words in a ploy
He just a misunderstood country boy who is trying to teach the world a thing or two
Though they don’t want to listen at all, he keeps singing and he keeps standing tall
That misunderstood country boy
Trying to give the world some joy
