The rain is falling lightly on
the buildings and the cars
I said goodbye to city friends,
apartments, stores and cars
The lights of town are at my back,
my heart is full of stars
And I'm going to be a
country girl again
I've spent some time in study,
oh, I've taken my degree
And memorized my formula like
A's and
B's and
C's
But what I know came long ago
and not from such as these
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh, yes, I'm gonna be a
country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front
porch and rabbits in the wind
I'll tell people all the lights on
Broadway don't amount
to an acre of grain
And I'm gonna be a country
girl again
I've wandered in the hearts
of men looking for a sign
That here I might learn happiness,
I might learn peace of mind
The one who taught my lesson was
a soft wind through the pines
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I'm gonna be a
country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front
porch and rabbits in the pen
I'll tell you all the lights on
Broadway don't amount
to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
