Country Girl
I was raised in the country, that's a natural factFood on the table from the garden out backEveryone working to make the land their ownRed clay cracking where the silver queen growsRunning with your cousins from yard to yardThe living was easy but the playing was hardDidn't have much, nothing comes for freeAll you needed was your familyI am a country girlI've been around the worldAnd every place I've beenAin't nothing quite likeLiving in the southOh honey shut your mouthI am a country girlI am a country girlBiscuits in the morning and gravy tooFried chicken in the afternoonJaw dragging, eating sweet potato pieTaking half an hour to say goodbyeBlackberry patches, scuppernong vinesSweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wineLetras de cancionesThe best kind of food is made by handThe only place to get it is from the landI am a country girlI've been around the worldAnd every place I've beenAin't got nothing likeLiving in the southOh honey shut your mouthI am a country girlI am a country girlAll day, I dream about a place in the sunKinda like where I'm fromWith the tall grass blowing in the breezeRunning barefoot 'round the tall oak treesAll day, I dream about a place I've beenA place where the skin I'm inFeels like it's supposed to beAnd anyone around who looks at me saysI am a country girlI've been around the worldAnd every place I've beenAin't quite nothing likeLiving in the southOh honey shut your mouthI am a country girlI am a country girlLiving in the southOh honey shut your mouthI was born in the country, that's a natural factOn these long city days, I want to look backTo see tobacco fields, a row after rowRed clay cracking where the silver queen grows From Letras Mania
