I am looking for who wrote and recorded a song from the early to mid
1970s and what album it appeared on. I heard it just three or four
times on a station out of Elizabethtown, KY (on a brand-new, very
sensitive radio that picked up the station only for a couple of
weeks). Thirty years later, I still love this song and want to find
it. The lyrics that I recall are as follows:

I was lost and could not find my feet
'Til you came and took me off the street
You said your home would be my own
There was almost nothing there to eat
Still you gave me what you had
Some coffee and a little sweet
And afterwards we had some wine
You said you'd had since '69
(Missed line but rhymes with the following line)
And talked about our lives together

Angel, do you remember loving me?
I'm the boy from Tennessee
Angel, I'm asking everyone I see
If they know where you could be

I'll be waiting on the corner, Sunset Strip and Vine
Just a block north of the Greyhound
You know it's getting late and I'm running out of time.

Without knowing much about it, I think I've found a potential
candidate for your song - "Lonely Boy from Tennessee" by Jeff Barbra
and Sarah Pirkle. If you'd like to, listen to the sample available at
<http://www.mperia.com/displayfull.php?searchby=artist&id=2998> and
let us know whether this is your song!

(Should it not be, can you offer any more information - male or female
singer, rock, pop, country, etc).
