(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)

New York is a long way from Texas
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flying out to LA
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
Oh, Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again.

--- Instrumental ---

To go walking down a country road at sunset
And see colors you can almost touch right over head
To hear the gentle breeze of peace blowing 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
Oh, Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again.

Oh, what I'd give to be a country girl again...
