New York is a long way from Texas Vegas is a long way from Abilene I spend lots of my time flyin' out to L.A. 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 walkin' down a country road at sunset And see colors, you can almost touch right over head To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowin' 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?
