Do you want to get on in this cowering country now? Do you want to get on Or would you be happy just to get by? The small thoughts of a small town girl Grew up and wanted to change the world Will heaven echo back my plea Or cast it as a curse on me. Do you want to get on in this beautiful country girl? Listen hard to what the big folks say And you'll believe anything If you believe what they say of this world From the orcahrd to the foundry From farms to the city night Everyone cracks if the price is right Ideals soon begin to fail God must know by now This love is not for sale
