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

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

Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again

[ guitar ]

To go walking down a country road at sunset

And see colors you can almost touch right over head

To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowing at the treetops

No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead

Oh what I'd give to be...

Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
