_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ I was raised in the country, that's a natural fact.
Food on the table from the garden out [C] back.
Everyone working to make [G] the land their own.
Red clay cracking where the [D] silver queen grows.
Running with your [Dm] cousins from yard to yard.
The living was easy, but the playing was [C] hard.
Didn't have much, nothing [G] comes for free.
All you needed was your family.
[Dm] _
_ _ I've been around the world.
I've been around [C] the world.
And every [G] place I've been, there ain't quite nothing [Dm]
like
living in the South.
Oh, honey, shut your [C] mouth.
I'm a country [G] girl.
I am a [C] country [Dm] girl.

Fried chicken in the afternoon.
[C] Jaw-jacking eating sweet [G] potato pie.
Taking half an hour to say [Dm] goodbye.
Blackberry patches, scuppin' on vine.
Sweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wine.
[C] The best kind of [G] food is made by hand, yet it is stronger.
_ [Dm] _ I'm a country girl.
I've been around the [C] world.
And every place I've [G] been, there ain't quite nothing [Dm] like
living in the South.
Oh, honey, shut your [C] mouth.
I'm a [G] country girl.
[D] I am a country girl. _ _ _
[Dm] All day, I dream about a [F] place in the sun.
Kind of like [G] where I'm from, with the tall grass blowing in
the [Dm] breeze, running [C] barefoot on a tall [Dm] oak tree.
All day, I dream [D] about a [F] place I've been.
A place where the skin [G] I'm in feels like it's supposed to be.
[Dm] And [A] anyone around who looks at me [Dm] says I am a country girl.
I've been around the [C] world.
And every place I've [G] been, there ain't quite nothing [Dm]
like
living in the South.
Oh, honey, shut your [C] mouth.
I am a country [G] girl.

_ _ I was raised in the country, that's a natural fact.
On these long city days, I want to look [C] back.
To see tobacco fields, row after [G] row.
Red clay crackin' where the silver [D] queen grows.
