Friends I know darn well that I’m heading straight to hell If I keep living the crazy way I do But I really have to say I have come a long, long way For a hillbilly girl with the blues
So if you think my song’s too rough please recall the roads been tough And don’t judge me darling until you wore my shoes I’ve never tried to hide how I really feel inside I’m just a hillbilly girl with the blues
Someday some I’ll settle down in some quite little town And I won’t look back till I leave these blues behind I gonna play my old guitar raise a roar and pass the jar I’m gonna sing myself a little piece of life
Don’t you know these city lights can really blind a country girl People often think she’s too green to refuse Well there’s nothing worse than neon when the morning sun shines through To a hillbilly girl, to a hillbilly girl, to a hillbilly girl with the blues With the blues.
