Just a year ago today when you packed and went away

And you started out to make the world your home

To the city you did go to learn of things you didn't know

Just a country girl who's never been around

Yes darling, just a country girl who's never been around

In a tavern with a crowd where the music is so loud

There you made your name and there's no turning back

You should have known that country feet

Were never made for city streets

You're just a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks

Yes darling, you're a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks

As you walk into the night where the lights are shining bright

You'll remember this ol' country boy at home

For now that you have crossed the line you no longer can be mine

You're a country girl a-walking all alone

Yes darling, you're a country girl a-walking all alone
