JEANNIE C. RILEY - Country Girl

New York is a long way from Texas
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flyin’ 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
Oh Lord, what I’d give to be a country girl again

To go walkin’ down a country road at sunset
And see colors you can almost touch right over head
To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowin’ in 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
Oh Lord, what I’d give to be a country girl again

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