my country girl

there's a cabin in the country

no tvs or telephone

when i get that burnt out feeling

down in spirits all alone

i got a sweet country girl

who i can call my cornerstone

we used to hang out in the city

but it got too much for her to bear

she left me for the country

found serenity out there

i sure do miss my baby

but she knows i really care

the last time i held her

we watched the sun go down nightfall

she told me that she loved me

i was feeling like a hero ten feet tall

she's my sweet country girl

in her cabin by the waterfall

she grows the best tomatoes

in a garden where her roses bloom

down home barbecuein'

in the backyard just outside her room

i miss that country girl

i just got to go and see her soon

i know i should've listened

when my heart was tellin' me to stay

but i was blind and foolish

never could find the words to say

i'm goin' back now to find her

my country girl will light my way
