I was born on a farm
Where my mum milked the cattle,
A jug full of corn was my first baby rattle,
I could ride a tractor
Before I could ride a bike.
My very first date
Took my to the theater,
That boy's biggest dream
Was to grow the best Tater [cf. "Tater Tots"],
But I wanted to be much more
then a farmhand's wife.
So I packed up my bags
And I headed for the water,
They all waved "goodbye"
to the little farmers' daughter,
I was setting sail
For the best ride of my life!
Now I'm picking apples
At the Sistine Chapel,
Bailin' hay
On the Champs Elysées!
Yeah, I'm a country girl
In every country of the world!
Now shucking corn
Where Shakespeare was born,
And I'm eating grits
On the great pyramids!
Yeah, I'm a country girl
In every country of the world!
I'm just a country girl
In ever country of the world!
