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
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 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
