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?
