I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun   The flowers were my pillow when the days 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 mamas 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 days 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      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   I'll come back to you, believe me   I won't forget that I'm a country girl   A country girl, you know, I'll always stay
