Lyrics
Country Girl-Howard Kroeger
I?ve got a story to tell about a country girl
She?s a hillbilly baby from another world
Not New York Chic or fake L.A
She?s as pure a snow my Elly May
When she walked by city folk stood in awe
That goddess from the hills was quite a draw
Some women got jealous, some women got mean
I?d see grown men buckle when their knees got weak for my?
COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
Well my hillbilly baby she descended from the hills
It was not by choice but against her will
It seems her Pa needed help he had debts to pay
So he pleaded for help from his Elly May
So she headed for the city on a mission from her Pa
Gonna find a rich fellow to take care of it all
You can call it fate or guidance from above
?Cause she found me man there I was?
COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
Solo
COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
SHE?S MY COUNTRY GIRL
I?ve got a story to tell about a country girl
She?s a hillbilly baby from another world
I gave her my heart
I gave her my car
Gave her all my money my shining star
Never could resist those soft blue eyes
She got what she wanted no compromise
Now I?m broken down and busted it?s a cold cruel world
But I miss her real bad my country girl
Chorus Out
