Lyrics
Country Girl by: Dan Mahoney C.2005 all rights reserved.
When first unto this country
at a soldier I did play.
I fell in hard for a country girl
whose name I will not say.
She gave me my freedom
and I did have my way.
But when I was a sleepin?
well she done me sorely wrong.
Full chorus:
But I?m love-struck blind.
love struck Buffalo-ed.
Should have known that country girl would do me sorely wrong.
Now I?m big bad news,
at the Buck-town rodeo.
Should have known it when
I seen her dancin?
In her red and white blue jeans.
She?s dancin? wi? the businessmen
she?s dancin? wi? the gents.
she has to dance with everyone
who pays her 50 cents.
We used to dance at county fairs
and in the general store.
Now she?s dancin? at the gas pumps
and on the senate floor.
In them red an? white blue jeans.
We travel ?round the big bad world.
she picks my fights for me.
Spendin? all my hard earned from
The bank of liberty.
I don?t know what to believe,
I don?t know what to be.
She?s dancin? round the words I read
and the pictures on TV.
Till I?m love-struck blind?
She dancin? with the words of peace
and the politics of hope.
?Till the jails are fulla Jesus
and the streets are paved with dope.
She lives in fear of what I say,
and things she thinks I know.
One day she bound to lock me up
and never let me go.
In her red and white blue jeans.
Sometimes I wonder where she is
but I know it?s where I?m not.
I?m gonna get her back someday
?cuz she?s the only gal I got.
She can blame it all on me and
I may never win.
Only thing I know for sure,
I won?t fall asleep again.
And get love-struck blind?
