Country Girl
Copyright 5/27/15 Katey Laurel and Pat Kelley

I grew up with cows ‘n corn in my backyard 
Wore coveralls and a cap that read “Carhartt” 
I was baling hay when I was ten years old
Lost a part of me the day that farm was sold

My daddy wiped his tears and a knee dropped to the ground
When the auctioneer brought that hammer down
We left our empty house in a cloud of dust
My childhood faded in the mirror with that old Dodge truck

But, my hands I held onto one steel horseshoe
Daddy nailed above the front door of
The only world I knew 

(Chorus)

Memories of where I’m from take me where I go
That earth we plowed keeps me grounded 
That’s the power of home 
You can take the girl out of the country 
To anywhere in the world
But you can’t take the country
Out of a country girl

There were no 4-H Clubs on 16th Avenue
And my city cousins, they didn’t wear cowboy boots
I sure missed the dirt in that land of cold concrete
We may have left the farm, but the farm never left me

Don’t get me wrong, I’m so thankful family got us through
But I’d trade the whole Big Apple for my old saddle 
And that backyard view 

(Chorus)

Well, it took ten years and this guitar
To buy back that farm
But, it sure paid off when daddy smiled and nailed that horseshoe
Right back where it belonged
Said, girl you bought it for a song
