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
