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 |
