|
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
|
