Written：Hawkshaw/Gosling Arranger：John Farrar/Alan Hawkshaw/Nick Ingman I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs The call of the city life kept going through my mind Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground Pa said the time had come when I could move to town So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand 'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile Wipe away that teardrop from your eye I won't forget that I'm a country girl I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you But I'll be coming home again someday No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl A country girl, you know I'll always stay I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile Wipe away that teardrop from your eye I won't forget that I'm a country girl I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you But I'll be coming home again someday No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl I'll come back to you, believe me I won't forget that I'm a country girl A country girl, you know I'll always stay
