C F C
New York is a long way from Texas
F C
Vegas is a long way from Abilene
F C
I spend lots of my time flying out to LA
G7 C
And if you've never been there you don't know how lonesome big towns can be
[Chorus]
C F C
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
F G7
To be with my people my man and my kids
C F C
To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama
F C G7 C
Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again
C F C
To go walking down a country road at sunset
F C
And see colors you could almost touch right over head
F C
To hear the gentle breeze is blowing at the treetops
G7 C
No out in the country there is no talk that God is dead
[Chorus]
C F C
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
F G7
To be with my people my man and my kids
C F C
To live in a house about a mile down the road from mama
F C G7 C
Oh Lord what I'd give to be a country girl again
F C G7 C
Oh what I'd give to be a country girl again
