Song Description

Missing her country life

Lyrics

Sweet sixteen just finished high school, thought I knew what was best
We all want what we don?t have
The grass is greener on the other side
My daddy was a tailor and my momma was a baker
Big Sunday lunches on the table outside
Everyone knows the name of the other
I thought it would be better if I said goodbye

Chorus One
My momma, she cried as she packed my suitcase, wondering why I wanted to go
All her life she had lived here, she wanted me to stay, but understood
I?m a country girl living in the city,
Wish I could find my way back home
I miss the winding roads and flowers so pretty
Sunlight peeping through the trees above

Chorus Two
My daddy drove me down to the station, said he tried but could not understand
His little girl had grown up now, it was too soon, he was not prepared
I?m a country girl living in the city,
Wish I could find my way back home
I miss the winding roads and flowers so pretty
Sunlight peeping through the trees above

Bridge
I?ve been here now for almost one year, working in the book shop downstairs
I meet the people and read stories to the children
But I can?t get the country out of my head

Chorus Three
I?m sitting in my window, looking at the street lights , longing for my country sky
Wondering what it was that drove me here, I miss everything about my country life
I?m a country girl living in the city,
Wish I could find my way back home
I miss the winding roads and flowers so pretty
Sunlight peeping through the trees above

Ending sung twice
I?m a country girl living in the city,
Wish I could find my way back home
I miss the winding roads and flowers so pretty
Sunlight peeping through the trees above
