  			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
