The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars I said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars And I'm gonna be a country girl again I spent some time in study, oh, I've taken my degrees I memorized my formulae, my A's and B's and C's But what I know came long ago and not from such as these And I'm gonna be a country girl again Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre o' green And I'm gonna be a country girl again I've wandered in the hearts of men, looking for the sign That here I might learn happines, I might learn peace of mind The one that taught my lesson was the south wind through the pines And I'm gonna be a country girl again Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre o' green And I'm gonna be a country girl again Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen I tell you all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre o' green And I'm gonna be a country girl again
