Country Girl Lyrics - Olivia Newton-john

(Hawkshaw/Gosling) 

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun 

The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done 

Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs 

The call of the city life kept going through my mind 

Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind 

It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground 

Pa said the time had come when I could move to town 

So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand 

I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand 

'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land

Goodbye Mama, let me see your smile 

Wipe away that teardrop from your eye 

I won't forget that I'm a country girl 

I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye 

So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you 

But I'll be coming home again someday 

No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl 

A country girl, you know I'll always stay 

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun 

The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done 

Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs 

Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind 

Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine
