I know I'm [G] just a country [C] girl, I hadn't [G] seen much of the [F] world, the day my [G] bus pulled out of [C] old Kentucky.
My daddy [G] waved and mama [C] cried, and I felt [G] all bloated up inside, [F] cause I was [G] leaving everyone [C] that loved me.
[G] The first I saw of city ways, went against how I was [F] raised, this country girl was really [C] out of place.
[G] And I was set to go back home, but I was broken all alone, [F] and I couldn't find another [C] friendly face.
[E] But I didn't have the bus from [Am] Kentucky, [G] or this city would have seen the last [C] of me.
[E] I didn't have the bus [Am] from Kentucky, [D] and that old grey dog won't let you ride [G] for free.
