lyrics

Born in the Country
traditional
Arrangement Liz Savage & Alicia Healey


I was born in the country, you thought I was easy to fool
I was born in the country, you thought I was wasy to fool
Well, the times are changing and this country girl ain't anybody's fool

I gave sugar for sugar, now I give salt for salt
I gave sugar for sugar, now I give salt for salt
If you don't like it, baby, I guess that's just your own goddamned fault

You walked past my window, you walked right by my gate
You walked past my window, you walked right by my gate
You walked past my window, but you won't get by my thrity-eight

It takes a mean-hearted man, to make long-time woman hurt down deep
It takes a mean-hearted man, to make long-time woman hurt down deep
Gonna find me a woman, to rock this country baby down to sleep

I'm leaving you baby, I gotta keep movin' on
I'm leaving you baby, I gotta keep movin' on
If you don't believe me, you just go and count the days I'm gone.
