Country Girl

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)

Jeannie C. Riley



New York is a long way from Texas

Vegas is a long way from Abilene

I spend lots of my time flying out to LA

And if you've never been there

You don't know how lonesome big towns can be.



Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again

To be with my people my man and my kids

To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's

Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again.



To go walking down a country road at sunset

And see colors I could almost touch right over head

To hear the gentle breeze a blowing at the treetops

No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead.



Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again

To be with my people my man and my kids

To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's

Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again.



Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again

To be with my people my man and my kids

To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's

Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again...
