| I’ve had my picture made with Willie Nelson
|
| Stayed in a hotel with a pool
|
| Driven through New Mexico where the saguaro cactus grow
|
| And I felt really small under Mount Rushmore
|
| And I made it all the way past Austin city limits
|
| And maybe for a minute, I got too big for my britches, but
|
| I’m just a dime store cowgirl
|
| That’s all I’m ever gonna be
|
| You can take me out of the country
|
| But you can’t take the country out of me, no
|
| 'Cause I’m still the girl from Golden
|
| Had to get away so I could grow
|
| But it don’t matter where I’m goin'
|
| I’ll still call my hometown home
|
| Slept in a room with the ghost of Gram Parsons
|
| Drank some wine I can’t afford
|
| Went to San Antonio to the River Walk and the rodeo
|
| Seen the white cliffs of Dover from the shore
|
| And I kinda fell in love with a Palm Springs trailer park
|
| But those California stars could never steal my heart, 'cause
|
| I’m just a dime store cowgirl
|
| That’s all I’m ever gonna be
|
| You can take me out of the country
|
| But you can’t take the country out of me, no
|
| 'Cause I’m still the girl from Golden
|
| Had to get away so I could grow
|
| But it don’t matter where I’m goin'
|
| I’ll still call my hometown home
|
| I’m happy with what I got, 'cause what I got is all I need
|
| Just 'cause it don’t cost a lot, don’t cost a lot, don’t mean it’s cheap
|
| 'Cause I’m just a dime store cowgirl
|
| That’s all I’m ever gonna be
|
| You can take me out of the country
|
| But you can’t take the country out of me, no
|
| 'Cause I’m still the girl from Golden
|
| Had to get away so I could grow
|
| But it don’t matter where I’m goin'
|
| I’ll still call my hometown home
|
| Yeah, I’ll still call my hometown home |
