              G                              D7              G 
Just a year ago today when you packed and went away 
 
        D7                                 G 
And you started out to make the world your home 
 
                                   D7                G 
To the city you did go to learn of things you didn't know 
 
       D7                            G 
Just a country girl who's never been around 
 
    C              D7                            G 
Yes darling just a country girl who's never been around 
 
 
                                   D7          G 
In a tavern with a crowd where the music is so loud 
 
          D7                                    G 
There you made your name and there's no turning back 
 
 
You should have known that country feet 
  
           D7            G 
Were never made for city streets 
 
              D7                           G 
You're just a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks 
 
    C                D7                           G 
Yes darling you're a country girl a-leaving dirty tracks 
 
 
                                     D7                 G 
As you walk into the night where the lights are shining bright 
 
       D7                               G 
You'll remember this ol' country boy at home 
 
                                              D7            G 
For now that you have crossed the line you no longer can be mine 
 
         D7                         G 
You're a country girl a-walking all alone 
 
    C                D7                         G 
Yes darling you're a country girl a-walking all alone
