(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
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 walking down a country road at sunset
And see colors I could almost touch right over head
To hear the gentle breeze a 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's
Oh Lord, what I'd give to be a country girl again.

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...
