Country Girl - Johnny Otis, Shuggie Otis

Winding paths through tables and glass

First flowers bloom

Now watch the summer pass

So close to you

Too late to keep the change

Too late to pay

No time to stay the same

Too young to leave

No pass out sign on the door set me thinking

Are waitresses paying the price of their winking

While stars sit at bars and decide what they’re drinking

They stop by the die because it’s faster than sinking

Too late to keep the change

Too late to pay

No time to stay the same

Too late to keep the change

Too late to pay

No time to stay the same

Too young to leave

Find out that now was the answer to answers

That you gave later

She did the things that we all did before now

But who forgave her?

If i could stand to see her crying

I would tell her not to care

When she learns of all your lying

Will she join you there?

Country girl i need to back

Got to make you understand

Have no lovers in the city

Let me be your country man

Got to make you understand

Got to make you understand

Country girl …
