Girl From Cincinnati Lyrics - Singles - Bobbie Gentry

Took the Continental Trailways 

'Cause I didn't have the fare 

To get from Cincinnati to Los Angeles by air 

The guy who said he'd meet me 

In a shiny limousine 

With a contract in his pocket 

Turned out to be a queen 

He could not see my body 

Or appreciate my good looks 

Had I fallen for some story 

That I read in all of the books 

But I ain't 

Goin' back 

To the bottom side of the tracks 

No, No, and I ain't 

Goin' back 

To the bottom side of the tracks 

No I ain't goin' back 

To Cincinnati 

So I got myself an agent 

With a roll of dollar bills 

And a Beverly type mansion 

In the middle of the hills 

I was friendly with producers 

And was heading out with the stars 

I played the backseat heroine 

In a thousand different cars 

From Cavalier to Playboy 

To the Johnny Carson show 

To holding up some dogfood 

For a firm in Idaho 

I've a screen-test every weekend 

And I'm constantly on call 

I'll be twenty-five next summer 

And thirty-five next fall 

But I ain't 

Goin' back 

To the bottom side of the track 

No, No, and I ain't 

Goin' back 

To the bottom side of the track 

You'll never get me to go back 

Ain't goin' back 

To Cincinnati
