Lyrics

Country Girl      By: Howie Askay

She’s a country girl, who drinks champagne 
With pink lemonade on a hot summer day
It’s a long way from where she began
This city life has got her drawn away

She says home, sounds so good to me
Sure sounds good to be where my kin folk live

Ive got to be where people talk
Standing face to face is how it’s suppose to be


(Chorus) Oh that cloudy day where she left her favorite place
She walked out the door just a girl in the world
And returns is a woman in her place


She’s a country girl, she likes fast cars
Back seats and stars sitting on the hay
Now her momma said that boys will try
To have their way, you’ve got your pride instead

She says home, sound so safe to me
Sure sounds safe to be where my mom and Dady sit

I want to start a family
I’m only seventeen but I’ve got my life to live


(Chorus)


(Bridge) Oh how life has a way for change, she cries in her pillow
Thinking about the time she walked away, from that place

She’s a country girl, she goes to school
She gets good grades, she’ll land on her feet

Now she goes to church and praises the lord
Gives her thanks to her life every Sunday 

She says home, feels so good to me 
Feels so good to be where my childhood is

But she won’t, see that car come
From behind to end her life


(Chorus) Oh that cloudy day when she left her favorite place
She walked out the door just a girl in the world
And she made it to heaven that day
