[Verse 1]
Dm
I was raised in the country that's a natural fact
Dm
Food on the table from the garden out back
C
Everyone working to make the land their own
G
Red clay crackin' where the silver queen grows
Dm
Runnin' with your cousins from yard to yard
Dm
Livin' was easy but the playin' was hard
C
Didn't have much nothing comes for free
G
All you needed was your family



[Chorus]
Dm
I am a country girl
Dm
I've been around the world
C
And every place I've been
G           D
Ain't quite nothin' like
Dm
Livin' in the south
Dm
I wanta shut your mouth
C
I am a country girl
G
I am a country girl


[Verse 2]
Dm
Biscuits in the morning and gravy too
Dm
Fried chicken in the afternoon
C
Jaw draggin' eatin' sweet potato pie
G
Takin' half an hour to say goodbye
Dm
Blackberry patches scuffin' on by
Dm
Sweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wine
C
The best kind of food is made by hand
G
The only place to get it is from the land


[Chorus]
Dm
I am a country girl
Dm
I've been around the world
C
And every place I've been
G           D
Ain't quite nothin' like
Dm
Livin' in the south
Dm
I wanta shut your mouth
C
I am a country girl
G
I am a country girl

[Verse 3]
Dm
All day I dream about a place in the sun
F
Kinda like where I'm from
G
With the tall grass blowin' in the breeze
Dm
Runnin' bare foot from the tall oak tree

Dm
All day I dream about a place I've been
F
A place where the skin I'm in
G
Feels like its supposed to be
A
And anyone around who looks at me says


[Chorus]
Dm
I am a country girl
Dm
I've been around the world
C
And every place I've been
G           D
Ain't quite nothin' like
Dm
Livin' in the south
Dm
I wanta shut your mouth
C
I am a country girl
G
I am a country girl


[Verse 4]
Dm
I was raised in the country that's a natural fact
Dm
On these long city days I wanta look back
C
See tobacco fields a row after row
G
Red clay a crackin' where the silver queen grows
