There's a girl standing on a red mud road Looking up at Legel's Hill She has never been much farther than that But she knows someday she will
Hillbilly girl - a big big world
She is strumming on a catalog guitar Singing songs she's always known She has her father's will and her mother's clear eyes And a wild heart all her own
She is wondering where that red road goes As the stars come out above Will she make it to the lights of the city bright Will she find someone to love
Now a woman stands on that same old road With her father's hand in her own And though mother is gone still those clear eyes Shine bright as they've ever shown
Yes the girl is the woman and the woman was the girl Many an old song she still can strum And yes she made it to the lights of the city bright But she never forgot where she's from
