Baby don't you know this country girls still free,
 Why not me?
 Well you finally come down to your own hometown
 Your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently,
 Why not me?

 CHORUS:
 Why not me on a rainy day
 Why not me to love your cares away,
 Why not me?
 Why not me when the nights get cold
 Why not me when your growin' old,
 Why not me?

 You've been searchin' from here to Singapore
 Ain't it time that you noticed the girl next door baby,
 Why not me?
 Well you had to see if the world was round
 It's time that you learned how good settling down could be,
 Why not me

 REPEAT CHORUS

 From the top again
