A COUNTRY MILE



I'm getting too used to this way of life

Fame is a baby, she rocks me at night

Far from the cold and the brash city lights

We purchase from sorrow a moment's respite



And each time you smile

I know I would follow you a country mile

For all that I'm chasing is worthless and vile



I was a backwater girl, home most nights

That was before I saw my name in lights

Stardom and squalor were not dreams of mine

But I've seen the Hollywood sign now

And how it shines



But when you smile

I swear I would follow you a country mile

Please save me before I do things that aren't worth my while
