(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 your 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 your 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 |
