Jim Croce - Box #10 video free download

Well out of southern Illinois, come a down home country boy

He's gonna make it in the city playin guitar in the studio

Well he hadn't been there an hour, when he met a Broadway flower

You know she took him for his money and she left him in a cheap hotel

Well it's easy for you to see, that that country boy is me

I'm sayin how'm I gonna ever break the news to the folks back home

Well I was gonna be a great success, things sure ended up a mess

But in the process, I got messed up too

Well hello momma and dad I had to call collect

cause I aint got a cent to my name

Well I'm sleepin in the hotel doorway

And tonight they say it's gonna rain

And if you'd only send me some money

I'd be back on my feet again

Send it in care of the Sunday Mission Box Number 10

Oh back in southern Illinois, they still worryin' bout that boy

But this boy's goin home soon as he gets the fare

Because as soon as I got my bread, I got a pipe upside my head

You know they left me in an alley, took my money and my guitar too

::Chorus::
