Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

Country Girl

She's a country girl

Young and pretty

She wanna see the world

So she headed for the city

She was entertained in all the right places

Knew half of the names and all of the faces

Just a country girl

If her daddy could see her now

Just a country girl

Well, you'd never recognize your little angel now

She comes down from way South

She talks slow and lazy

When she opened her mouth the city boys went crazy

They fed her pink champagne, give her a headache

Cheap cocaine makes her meaner than a rattlesnake

Reelin' and a rockin' couldn't get enough

Crawlin' when the sun comes up

And payback's hell

There's a bag lady talkin' to her shopping cart

Don't you know? The scary part

Is she saw herself
