Another Planet

I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again

The rain's falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars
The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country girl again
 

Oh, yes, I'm gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway
Don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country girl again

I spent some time in study, oh I've taken my degrees
And memorized my formulae my A's and B's and C's
But what I know came long ago and not from such as these
And I'm gonna be a country girl again

[CHORUS]

I've wandered in the hearts of men looking for the sign
That here I might learn happiness, I might learn peace of mind
The one who taught my lesson was the soft winds through the pines
And I'm gonna be a country girl again

[CHORUS x2]
