Jeannie C. Riley - Country Girl lyrics

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...

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