New York is a long way from Texas Vegas is a long way from Abilene I spend lots of my time flying out to L.A. And if you've never been there you don't know Jow 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 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. Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again...
