Loretta Lynn
"Country Girl" lyrics

Country Girl

You can ride your elevators
Your city bus and escalators
They'll take you
Anywhere you want to go

But I'm glad to be back home again
Where the country starts
And the city ends
And anywhere I go
I wanna walk
The dusty roads

When the neon signs
Light up your street
And the firefly's light
Shines on my feet
And the nightcrawlers
Sang me sleepy sounds

For you the city may be fine
But there's a lot of hills to climb
For a country girl
Who just got home from town

I'm a country girl
Just home from town
Went far enough
To look around
But nothing caught my eye
So I didn't buy

So if you want me
Change my name
Then walk me home
Down a country lane
We'll stop awhile
And hear that country sound

A bluebird's singing
A song that's new
A lover's song
He'll sing to you
And a country girl
Who just got home from town

I'm a country girl
Just home from town
Went far enough
To look around
But nothing caught my eye
So I didn't buy

So if you want me
Change my name
Then walk me home
Down a country lane
We'll stop awhile
And hear that country sound

A bluebird's singing
A song that's new
A lover's song
He'll sing to you
And a country girl
Who just got home from town

Yeah, I'm a country girl
That just got home from town
