Country Girl

I was raised in the country, that's a natural fact

Food on the table from the garden out back

Everyone working to make the land their own

Red clay crackin' where the silver queen grows

Runnin' with your cousins from yard to yard

Livin' was easy but the playin' was hard

Didn't have much, nothing comes for free

All you needed was your family

I am a country girl

I've been around the world

And every place I've been

Ain't quite nothin' like

Livin' in the South

Oh, honey, shut your mouth

I am a country girl

I am a country girl

Biscuits in the morning and gravy too

Fried chicken in the afternoon

Jaw draggin', eatin' sweet potato pie

Takin' half an hour to say goodbye

Blackberry patches scuffin' on by

Sweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wine

The best kind of food is made by hand

The only place to get it is from the land

I am a country girl

I've been around the world

And every place I've been

Ain't got nothin' like

Livin' in the South

Oh, honey, shut your mouth

I am a country girl

I am a country girl

All day, I dream about a place in the sun

Kinda like where I'm from

With the tall grass blowin' in the breeze

Runnin' barefoot 'round the tall oak tree

All day, I dream about a place I've been

A place where the skin I'm in

Feels like it's supposed to be

And anyone around who looks at me says

I am a country girl

I've been around the world

And every place I've been

Ain't quite nothin' like

Livin' in the South

Oh, honey, shut your mouth

I am a country girl

I am a country girl

Livin' in the south

Oh, honey, shut your mouth

I was born in the country, that's a natural fact

On these long city days, I wanna look back

To see tobacco fields a row after row

Red clay a crackin' where the silver queen grows
