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
|
|
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...
|
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
|
