Winding paths through tables and glass
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?
While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking,
They drop by to die ’cause it’s faster than sinking.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
Find out that now was the answer
To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before, now,
But who forgave her.
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care.
When she learns of all your lyin’
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think you’re pretty,
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man.
Got to make you understand.
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
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
[ guitar ]
To go walking down a country road at sunset
And see colors you can almost touch right over head
To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowing at the treetops
No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead
Oh what I'd give to be...
You know my little girl
She's a country girl
Yes my little girl
She's a country girl
But she means more to me
Than anything in this world
Yeah she fix my breakfast lunch and dinner
And she bring it on home on time
She fix my breakfast lunch and dinner
And bring it all home on time
Yes you know I'm glad to be back home
Hey with this little girl of mine
You know I'm glad glad glad
I'm glad to be back home at last
What I'm glad glad glad
I'm so glad to be back home at last
Since I've seen my baby
Yeah how many days have passed
Yeah you know I flew into the station
About six forty-five
Yeah my plane it made it into the station this morning
About six forty-five
Yes you should've seen my baby's face
To see my plane arrive
Yes it made me feel so good
To walk in through the door
Yes it made me feel so good to walk into the door
You know and find everything the same
Even my pallet layin on the floor
And I said hi hi baby I won't worry no more
Whoa I said hi hi hi baby, I won't ever worry any more
You know I got home this mornin
(Hawkshaw/Gosling)
I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
The call of the city life kept going through my mind
Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind
It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground
Pa said the time had come when I could move to town
So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand
I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand
'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land
Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay
I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind
Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine
Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I'll come back to you, believe me
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay
She was a country girl from Clebourne, Texas
In a big city and she like my necklace
So we started talking while we took a ride
In a big pick-up truck and my hat was to the side.
She was a country girl from the class of ‘96
A big booty with some big ol’ country damn
A country name with some country attitude
Say “yes ma’am” but at times she’s kinda rude.
A daddy’s girl so I had to watch my ass.
6 three Mr. Hill would whoop my ass.
We can’t kick it I’m a city kid
Imagine what would happen if he knew what we did
(What we did)
-[Chorus]-
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
She likes country livin’ and acoustic guitars
And Kenny Chesney and country bars
And Cadillac’s and I couldn’t relate
I’m just a concrete kid on a country date
And her dad hated me… oh I knew it.
He didn’t like my tattoos, pierced ears, and black music.
We still cow-tippin' and trippin'
With that brush papa shirt lit back cause she was pimpin
She was a country girl home cookin’ and grubbin’
Aint used to my style big limos and clubbin’
A city kid and I’m doin’ my thang
I like an old country girl this is how I sing.
-[Chorus]-
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
A country girl cut off jeans and lolly pops
Tequila shots, tube tops and liquor stops
A country girl with them country ways
Livin’ big city nights
But them country days
A country girl don’t understand thuggin
A country girl tractors and beer chuggin
A country girl pig-tails and care-free
No direct dish just channel 3
(Come on, this the only channel you have?)
-[Chorus]-
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a differenty world
Country Girls….
You are a girl from the country
Your eyes remind me of the sun
You came to visit in the city
And won the hearts of everyone
You are a girl from the country
Your hair is colored like the corn
I have never been outside the city
I am no friend to anyone
Chorus:
Country girl wont you stay a while
Wont you stay a while with me
Country girl wont you stay a while
Let me see you smile for me
Lead
You are a girl from the country
Before you came I was alone
Please say youll take me to the country
And let me share your country home
COUNTRY GIRL
WRITER ROY DRUSKY
I met you my country girl you didn't have a thing
I fell in love I dressed you up, then I bought the ring
I was teaching you to love, you were leaning fine
Then one day you learned too much and it poisoned your sweet mind
Now you've gone and left me you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you'll tell him I bought the shoes on your feet
Now you've gone and left me you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
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...
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
About five o'clock in the late afternoon sun's gettin' drowsy above me
Tonight I walk neath the sparkling moon with the girl who is happy to love me
She's my sweet country girl and she's all that I need
The whole world wears the smile when she's talking
Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh
Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...
Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay
About five o'clock in the late afternoon...
She's my sweet country girl yes she is
She's my sweet country girl and I love her she's my sweet country girl
She's a country girl
Young and pretty
She wanna see the world
So she headed for the city
She was entertained in all the right places
Knew half of the names, and all of the faces
Just a country girl
If her daddy could see her now
Just a country girl
Well you'd never recognize your little angel now
She comes down from way South,
She talks slow and lazy
When she opened her mouth the city boys went crazy
They fed her pink champagne, give her a headache
Cheap cocaine makes her meaner than a rattlesnake
Reelin' and a rockin' couldn't get enough
Crawlin' when the sun comes up
And payback's hell
There's a bag lady talkin' to her shopping cart
Don't you know the scary part
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air
In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars,
the endless search for where you are
(sail on, sail on)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!
Don't sail away on a crimson tide!
Don't leave your heart on the other side!
Her eyes are an endless flame
Desire with a special name
Don't ever fall in love!
Don't give your heart away!
I was born a country girl I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine greenfields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Birds sing good morning country girl I sleep to the sounds of a whippoorwill
My day is made with puppys and kittens meadows and daisies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Running over hills playing in the woods free breezes blowing
Honeybeeses warming blackbirds a flying wonder where they're going
Picking stick-me-tights off my gain and dress darkness is falling
Fire wood to carry eggs to gathering supper's ready mother's calling
I was born a country girl I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine greenfields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl I'm so happy I'm a country girl
Country girl, country girl
I beheld her in meadowland
Bowing and reaping and singing a refrain
Oh, what a melancholy strain
The valley echoed with a ring
No nightingale could ever sing
So plaintively as the country girl
I was spellbound and curious
Why such a sad song?
Perhaps love passed her by
No hopeful rainbow in the sky
Maybe she held a memory dear
A happiness of yesteryear
In solitude cried the country girl
Came the hour to travel on
Sadness befell me
A sorrow filled my heart
A longing never to depart
The music in my soul I bore
Long after it was heard no more
And memories of a country girl
Well look see the moon comes risin', tomorrow is yesterday
He left his home and now he's gone a hopin' to find a way
A story of Rueben the cobbler, I'll tell you in this style
How he went down the road with his load and shouted for a thousand miles
Oh country girl, oh won't you come to me tonight?
Oh country girl, smother me with delight
Oh country girl, you drive away the pain
Oh country girl, you make sunshine of the rain
With a hop and a hoop and a holler he carried out his dues
'Til the rotted roof made the push that took old Rueben's shoes
And I wonder to be there with him in that sky of gray
We'd sit on a cloud and cry out loud 'til tomorrow is yesterday
Oh country girl, oh won't you come to me tonight?
Oh country girl, smother me with delight
Oh country girl, you drive away the pain
Oh country girl, you make sunshine of the rain
Oh country girl, oh won't you come to me tonight?
Oh country girl, smother me with delight
Oh country girl, oh you drive away the pain
Oh country girl, oh you make sunshine of the rain
(HARP INTRO)

Winding paths through tables and glass
First flowers bloom
Now watch the Summer pass
So close to you
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking
While stars sit at bars and decide what they're drinking
They stop by the die because it's faster than sinking
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
Find out that now was the answer to answers
That you gave later
She did the things that we all did before now
But who forgave her?
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lying
Will she join you there?
Country girl I need to back
Got to make you understand
Have no lovers in the city
Let me be your country man
Got to make you understand
Got to make you understand
Country girl ...
You never get too big, you never get too heavy
You never get too cool that you stop payin' your dues
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinking till the morning comes
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, yeah
Crazy women mess your head
Wake up drunk and beaten in some strange bed
Yeah, what can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, yeah
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
With you, got the riot city blues
One thing I have to say before I have to go
Be careful with your seed, you will reap just what you sow
Yeah, what can a poor boy do? What can I do?
You better go back to your mama, she'll take care of you
One last time
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, take my hand, lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned, oh, my soul, it's unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on

Oh oh oh
Country girl
Country girl
If you don't mind
Baby we could give it a whirl
Left my home and family for
The sound of the rock and roll band
Been so long I can't recall
How it all began
Country girl
The Southern kind
Tennessee
On my mind
Left my home and family for
The soul in a rock and roll song
Just like you I could sure use
Someone to lean on
You may love upon a masa
Desert sky light a laze in a rose
I fell into her just like
That leaf falls in the water
Just like saying lonesome I suppose
I suppose
Country girl
Your papa's pride
Dusty boots
Easy smile
Left my home and family for
A life there ain't no choosing
Country girl don't throw me
No illusisions
Country girl
Country girl
Graceful as a sparrow
Free as a bird
Left my home and all that I've known
For the road and the tale I control
Lying here with you in the fore glow
She was just a country girl
Didn't have those New York City ways
When she hopped a bus in Ohio
Headin' for the crowded streets where no one says a word
She was just a country girl living in the lonely city
Met a man who learned her name
She became a woman on a rainy New York night
There's a new day dawnin' in the city
She calls her Mama collect
Sayin', "Mama send bus fare back to Ohio
Have somebody meet me at the depot"
She was just a country girl
Spent some time in New York City
Now she tells her friends about lonely New York City
And her lonely New York night
There's a new day dawnin' in the city
She calls her Mama collect
Sayin', "Mama send bus fare back to Ohio
Have somebody meet me at the depot"
She was just a 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 L.A.
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 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' 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?
I was born a country girl, I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue sky and sunshine
Greenfields and butterfilies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl.
Birds sing good morning country girl
And I sleep to the sounds of the whippoorwills
My day is made with puppys and kittens, meadows and
daisies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl.
Running over hills playing in the woods
Free breezes blowing
Honey bees warming, blackbirds a flying
Wonder where they're going?
Picking stick-me-tights off my gingom dress
Darkness is falling
Fire wood to carry, eggs to gather
Supper's ready mama's calling.
I was born a country girl and I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue sky and sunshine
Greenfields and butterfilies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl.
Oh, I'm so happy I'm a country girl. hmm...
Yeeh ha

If you hear me and you know you?re bad
All you country girls clap your hands
Ladies if you understand
Let me hear you all clap your hands
If you hear me and you know you?re bad
All you country girls clap your hands
You don?t have to be a Georgia peach from Savannah Beach to say
From Arkansas to appreciate a Southern drawl
Don?t need no kin from West Virginia to have it in ya

She was a country girl from Cleburne, Texas
In a big city and she liked my necklace (Bling Bling)
So we started talking, while we took a ride
In thee big pick-up truck and my hat was to the side (Oh yea)
She was a country girl, from the class of ’96 (’96)
A big booty with some big ole country (damn)
A country name with some country attitude
Say yes Mam, but at times she’s kinda rude
A daddy’s girl, so I had to watch my ass
Sixteen, Mr. Hill would whoop my ass
He can’t kick it, I’m a city kid
Imagine what would happen if he knew what we did (we did)
Oh yea
[Chorus: DF Dub]
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
[x4]
[Verse 2]
She liked country living and acoustic guitars
And Kenny Chesney in country bars
And Cadillacs and I couldn’t relate
I’m just a concrete kid on a country date
And her dad hated me, I knew it
Didn’t like my tattoos, pierced ears and black music
We still chill cow tipping and tripping
With that brushed papa shirt lift back cuz she was tipping (Oh yea)
She was a country girl home cookin’ and grubbin’ (Hmm)
Ain’t used to my style big limos and clubbin’ (We be clubbin’)
A city kid and I’m doing my thang
I like an ole country girl and this is how I sang
Yee-hoo, What, What
[Chorus: DF Dub]
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
[x4]

[Verse 3]
A country girl cut off jeans and lollipops
Tequila shots, tube tops and liquor stops
A country girl with them country ways
Livin’ big city nights but them country days (Ugh)
A country girl don’t understand thuggin’ (What)
A country girl tractors and beer chuggin’
A country girl pigtails and care free
No direct dish, just Channel 3 (Oh, wait a minute)
This the only channel you have?
What?
Oh yea!
[Chorus: DF Dub]
I fell in love with a country girl
A city kid in a different world
