words and music by
Jim Callahan

If a country boy like me, from the hills of Tennessee
Came looking for the city lights
And he met a girl like you, he could tell his troubles to
And you helped him spend a little time
If he acted kind of shy, never looked you in the eye
And he never tried to hold you close
If he never said to you, girl I'm so in love with you
I'll Bet You, You Would Never Know

If he laid awake all night, wishing he could hold you tight
And he thought about you every day
But, he never kissed your lips or caressed your finger tips
And he never tried to take your heart away
If the boy was really scared, never said how much he cared
Afraid that you might make him go
If he never said to you, girl I'm so in love with you
I'll Bet You, You Would Never Know

But, If he finally got the nerve
He could write down all the words
And sing it in a country song
Hoping just by chance, you might know it at a glance
And maybe you would sing along

Well if the city girl was you, and the story really true
I wonder how you'd feel inside
If the country boy was me and I just couldn't find the key
To tell you what was really on my mind
If I never took the chance, If I never danced the dance
And I never said I'll never let you go
If I never said to you, girl I'm so in love with you
I'll Bet You, You Would Never Know
