I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun

The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done

Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs

The call of the city life kept going through my mind

Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind



It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground

Pa said the time had come when I could move to town

So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand

I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand

'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land



Goodbye Mama, let me see your smile

Wipe away that teardrop from your eye

I won't forget that I'm a country girl

I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye

So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you

But I'll be coming home again someday

No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl

A country girl, you know I'll always stay



I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun

The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done

Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs

Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind

Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine



Goodbye Mama, let me see your smile

Wipe away that teardrop from your eye

I won't forget that I'm a country girl

I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye

So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you

But I'll be coming home again someday

No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl

I'll come back to you, believe me

I won't forget that I'm a country girl

A country girl, you know I'll always stay
