Country Girl Lyrics - Singles - Jeannie C. Riley

New York is a long way from Texas 

Vegas is a long way from Abilene 

I spend lots of my time flyin' out to L.A. 

And if you've never been there 

You don't know how lonesome big towns can be 

Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again 

To be with my people, my man and my kids 

To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's 

Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again? 

To go walkin' down a country road at sunset 

And see colors, you can almost touch right over head 

To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowin' at the treetops 

No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead 

Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again 

To be with my people, my man and my kids 

To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama's 

Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again? 

Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again?
