New York is a long way from Texas
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flying out to L.A.
And if you've never been there you don't know
Jow 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
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...
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flying out to L.A.
And if you've never been there you don't know
Jow 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
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...
