A Country Girl



A country girl don't need silver.
A country girl don't need gold.
A country girl already has more riches than the world can hold.

A hat on her head and a horse by her side;
a country girl already has what's true and what's tried.

The grass in the fields,
the sun in the sky;
it's the simple things in life that bring tears to her eyes.

The country girl laughs,
the country girl cries;
but her soul is content,
and will be through the day that she dies.
