Country Boy and City Girl
Clay Walker · Rumor Has It
I'm not the kind to take things for granted
A simple mind and two strong working hands
But at the time I thought my feet were planted
You came along and uprooted this simple man
A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
You liked my courage and honey I sure liked your style
A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
I always thought we'd stay together
And I still think about you from time to time
But I should have known nothing lasts forever
But I'd never be the one to say goodbye
And I remember
A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
A simple mind and two strong working hands
But at the time I thought my feet were planted
You came along and uprooted this simple man
A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
You liked my courage and honey I sure liked your style
A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
I always thought we'd stay together
And I still think about you from time to time
But I should have known nothing lasts forever
But I'd never be the one to say goodbye
And I remember
A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
