New York is a long way from Texas
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
I spend lots of my time flying
Out to L.A.
And if you've never been there
You don't know how lonesome
Big towns can be
Oh, what I'd give to be
A country girl again
To be with my people
My men and my kids
To be with my people
To live in a house
About a mile down the road
From Mama
Oh, Lord, what I'd give to be
A country girl again
To go walking down
A country road at sunset
And see colors you can almost tell
And touch right overhead
To hear the gentle breeze of peace
Blowing in the treetops
No, out in the country
There is no talk that God is dead
Oh, what I'd give to be
A country girl again
To be with my people
To be with my people
My men and my kids
To live in a house
About a mile down the road
From Mama
Oh, Lord, what I'd give to be
A country girl again
Oh, what I'd give to be
A country girl again
