Country Girl

(album: Stay There 'Til I Get There - 1970)

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

I go walking down a country road at sunset
And see colors I could almost touch over head
I'd hear gentle breeze is 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
