Campbell, Glen - Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.) Lyrics

Happy RETIREMENT!
Jump out of the box sometimes.

This is my fave Glenn Campbell song. It isi rather cynical.

Written by the great Denns Lambert and Brian Potter!

Another great tune he left us with great music we miss him.

Amazing that we rarely hear his music played or requested because he was really underrated.My father is a big fan

Other artists recognised his true talent. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6q2hsdXenQ

Hugely underrated and under appreciated artist.Pity you don't hear much of his music on radio stations

You don't find too much here on YT either ... a lot of his music is blocked by copyright claimants.

Came here cause this was playing in wal mart couple days ago ...Great Song !

I am glad you found it here, Marcia. Have a good day!

I first heard it on a classic country radio station a couple months ago. I think it may have dethroned Rhinestone Cowboy as my favorite Glen Campbell song!!

I heard this song on KCRW.

Hope it made your day!

I love this 1976 Glen Campbell hit, which peaked @ #11 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart!!!



Bravo, Glen Campbell [R.I.P.] (performer) & Dennis Lambert/Brian Potter (songwriters)!!!

Glen Campbell.....THE most underrated talent ever. Genius guitar player and pitch perfect vocals, like silk. How does one human being get so much talent and I get none? LOL

Saw Glen in concert at the beginning of his last tour. He still had it, even in early stages of Alzheimer’s. R.I.P.

The absolute best we got from Glen. RIP 🎶〰💞

This video is certainly pulling in the views! Thanks for stopping to comment, Lesley.

My dad gave me his cassette when i was drowning in black metal grunge and trash metal. Back in 1995. He said " this is much better. You will feel better." HE WAS RIGHT. HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

Good comment ... thank you!

sunryse111 you are welcome. Love and greetings from Turkey

@pomegranateorange Good music soothes the soul, other music drags you down.

Dad's are always right!

Didn't you know dads are always right? :-)

So many of his great songs have that yearning quality. Wonderful , sweeping cinematic feel owing to faultless string arranging.

A performer sadly missed, Philip!

Thank you, sunryse111, for your kindly correspondence. The sadness of his passing is eased only by the timelessness of his legacy.

Don't realise how talented glen was ,watched a documentary about him.

Are you in the UK? I noticed that there were one or two documentaries listed for Glen - but I'm not a TV watcher so I saw none of them. But yes, he was extremely talented - a brilliant guitarist and vocalist. Thanks for your visit. Glen will be long remembered ....

I remember it was a crisp cold day in December when I was delivering Mail for the service, and I heard this on the radio. I was thinking WOW, what a sound...Classic. Golden..

Great personal comment, Andrew - thanks!

Great song, great singer.

A favorite!!

One of my favourites, too.

The best of the best! 🙌🌹
#restinpeace #love 🙏❤

Thanks for stopping by, Rachel. Best wishes for the new month ahead.

this song went to #11 on the pop charts in 1976!!!

Yes .... thank you - I have already pointed that out in the description above.

Country boy,you got your feet in SC ,but your minds in London.....(:

Haha! True!

It is lol (:

He just needs to know it!!!

His voice is just pure silk (:

... and never to be forgotten.

One More. STRAIGHT TO MY HEART!

Thank you, my friend.

This song came out when I was heading West, and ended up in L.A.!

Warm, treasured memories, huh? Thanks for your visit here, my friend.

Rest in peace Mr. Glen Campbell you touched so many people with your music. I've learned that music has no color. If it touches your soul and feels right then it must be all good. This is coming from a black man who loves good music.

Wonderful comment, my friend. Thank you.

Terry Tucker I feel the same. Charley Pride is one of favorite singers.
Music has a way bringing people together.

Came here because this is my favourite Glen Campbell song though Galveston runs it really close. Said it before on other tracks, great singer of real authority,  sadly gone just today but here with us forever through his great songs.

His music will stay around for a long, long time ....

Rest in Peace, Glen.

He will be greatly missed

RIP. Your music won't be forgotten.

Goodbye Glen....your music will live on. Rest well...my friend. :(

He will never be forgotten.

Vale Glen. Remembered always. Thanks

Thank you for your comment, Emma. A sad day.

I love this one. another of his great songs is The Hand that Rocks the Cradle with Steve Wariner.

RIP Glen Campbell you were an American treasure.  God gifted singer and guitarist.  Another of the greats gone.

I had the pleasure (just once) of seeing him in concert. An amazing evening! Thanks for your comment.

What a treat.  He's joined the rest of Gods choir.

R.I.P..Great song from 1976

Thank you for your sincere comment.

Quite a Legend, RIP Glen Campbell

Yes - sad news just now.

A super country singer. Beautiful ballad.

the UK are NOT country/western people

That's a rather broad generalisation, my friend. A lot of British people are very keen C&W fans and radio stations that run Country programmes over here are well supported by the fans. This channel (UK based) regularly posts C&W material.

i wasonley youngwhen he came out but gosh he had some great songs go glen

He did indeed. Thank you for your lovely comment.

your most welcome

Some of the nicest music ever made.

True - thank you for your comment.

Great song, reminds me of my childhood, thx for sharing....

Bitter, are you? Guilty, maybe? You've gotta be some kind of messed up to need to rain on everybody else's parade, and bring them down, in a place like this.Go hustle some Prozac, huh?

Lambert and Potter at the very peak of their game.

+ted norton Absolutely! they certainly helped revive Glen Campbell's career!

One of Glen Campbell's albums was a regular played vinyl as I grew up in my household. He is one of my favourite artists of all time, his guitar skills are as good as anyone else. I'm so sad to see the way his health has diminished over recent years, but this guy will always be a shining light to all aspiring guitar players....not to mention his smooth clear voice.

+Robert Frost An excellent comment, Robert.  All you say is true.

My dad was a huge Glen Campbell fan growing up. His songs bring back ️happy memories ❤️

+Sabine Grella I am glad that you have happy memories of your father.  Not all of us do ...

When did his song come out?

+SRCVintage Electronics released October 1975.

It was on his RHINESTONE COWBOY LP.

Love this Tune :-)

@William McLellan You have excellent taste!

One of my favorite Glenn Campbell songs.

@cruyeda I once saw him in concert.  Great entertainer.   Thanks for stopping by to comment.

This is probably my fave...

Wanted to tell urban that I luv glen campbell as well....I actually got to meet him.on.a personal basis 2 yrs. Ago. .. I work for a moving company and I got to go pack his house in Malibu up....I got goose bumps when I met him... him and his wife Kim were so nice to everyone on our crew. . He moved to Nashville and a few months later we all got a written hand letter from.them for a wonderful job we did...memories I never fotget...

@Terry Keith Thank you for your comment and personal reminiscences.  Appreciated.

Such a great song, by Glen, It's a message song! The message is, apart from the obvious, (he loves her and she doesn't know,) that happiness doesn't come from fame and money only! That's good to have, but  you also need love. I love all Glen Campbells' songs, I love singing them, and I  know most of them  by heart,  just as I know every word to every song Elvis ever sang.  I love Glen Campbell, and I love Elvis even more! Doesn't  that make me happy? Yes it I think it does! These two great entertainers and singers have brought me joy and happiness and they'll do just as long as I live!

@Urban Åkerlund Thank you for your comment.  Upbeat and encouraging!  Have a good weekend.
