The rain is falling lightly
On the buildings and the cars
I've said goodbye to city friends
Department stores and bars
The lights of town are at my back
My heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
I spent my time in study
Oh, I have taken my degrees
I memorized my formula
My 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 am gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway
Don't amount to an acre green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
I have wandered in the hearts of men
Searching for the sign
But here I might find happiness
I might find peace of mind
The one who taught my lesson was
The soft wind through the pines
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I am gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway
Don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
Oh yes, I am gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway
Don't amount to an acre of green
And I am gonna be a country girl again
Yes, I am gonna be a country girl again
