Country Girl
Steve Earle & The Dukes Lyrics

She's a country girl
The woman in question is someone who was born and raised in a rural area.

Young and pretty
She is currently in the prime of her life and is an attractive individual.

She wants to see the world
This woman has a sense of wanderlust and desires to explore beyond the limits of her hometown.

So she headed for the city
To expand her horizons, this woman decided to move to an urban area.

She was entertained in all the right places
Upon arriving in the city, she was taken to locations that were popular and considered to be fun and exciting.

Knew half of the names, and all of the faces
While she may not know everyone in the city by name, she is familiar with many of the people she has encountered.

Just a country girl
Regardless of her environment, this woman remains true to her roots and identity.

If her daddy could see her now
The woman's father would be shocked if he saw his daughter's current lifestyle and behavior.

Well you'd never recognize your little angel now
The woman's current appearance and actions are far removed from what her father remembers of her when she was younger.

She comes down from way South
Her hometown is located in the southern region of the country.

She talks slow and lazy
The woman's speech pattern is relaxed and relaxed often associated with southern dialects.

When she opened her mouth the city boys went crazy
The men in the city are fascinated by the woman and her southern charm.

They fed her pink champagne, give her a headache
The city men provide her with luxurious drinks, but it is having an adverse effect on her health.

Cheap cocaine makes her meaner than a rattlesnake
The consumption of low-quality cocaine causes the woman to behave aggressively.

Reelin' and a rockin' couldn't get enough
The woman is enjoying herself to the fullest extent, and those around her are impressed by her enthusiasm and energy.

Crawlin' when the sun comes up
As the party continues into the early hours of the morning, the woman becomes exhausted and unable to function normally.

And payback's hell
The consequences of her actions are not pleasant, and she is paying dearly for her behavior.

There's a bag lady talkin' to her shopping cart
The woman encounters a woman who is homeless and speaking to her shopping cart in the streets.

Don't you know the scary part
The woman is frightened by the realization that she may end up like the homeless woman if she continues to indulge in her current lifestyle.

Is she saw herself
Upon seeing the homeless woman, the woman realizes that she has the potential to end up in a similar situation if she does not change her ways.
