I was born on a farm while my mom milked the cattle A jug full' a corn was my first baby rattle I could ride a tractor before I could ride a bike My very first date took me to the theatre The boy's biggest dream was to grow the best tator But I wanted to be much more than a farm hand's wife So I packed up my bags and headed for the water The all waved goodbye to their little farmer's daughter I was settin' sail for the best time of my life Now I'm pickin' apples at the sistine chapel Bailin' hay on the Champs Elysses I'm a country girl in every country of the world Now I'm shuckin' corn where Shakespeare was born And I'm eatin' grits at the great pyramids I'm a country girl in every country of the world I'm just a country girl in every country of the world
