Barbara Ray - I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again Lyrics

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

Oh yes, I'm 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

I spent some time on study
Oh, I've taken my degrees
And memorised my formulas, 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'm gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
And 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

I've wandered in the hearts of men
Looking for the sign
But here I might learn happiness
I might learn peace of mind

The one who taught my lesson was
The soft winds through the pines
And I'm gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
And I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green
Yes I'm gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
And I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green
Yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again
Yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again
