Country Girl
Faron Young · An Introduction to Faron Young [Fuel 2000] [2006]
I met you my country girl
You didn't have a thing
I fell in love I dressed you up
And I bought the ring.
I was teaching you to love
You were learning fine
Then one day you learned too much
And it poisoned your sweet mind.
Now you've gone and left me
You're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him
I bought the clothes on you.
When you do your dancin'
And you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you tell him
I bought the shoes on your feet.
--- Instrumental ---
Now I've lost my country girl
To a city love affair
He'd built you up, you fell for him
You didn't treat me fair.
You think that he's the dream come true
He says he loved you so
But wait until the word gets out
I taught you all that you know.
Now you've gone and left me
Now you've gone and left me
You're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him
I bought the clothes on you.
When you do your dancin'
And you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you tell him
I bought the shoes on your feet...
