WHY NOT ME
(Harlan Howard / Sonny Throckmorton / Brent Maher)


The Judds - 1984



You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free
Why not me

So you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your Kentucky girl's been a-waitin' patiently
Why not me

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 you're 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

You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
Why not me

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 you're growin' old
Why not me

(Instrumental Break)

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know that this country girl's still free
Why not me

Why not me
Baby, why not me

Oh, baby, why not me

Oh, baby, why not me

Ooo-ooh, baby. why not me
