THE CITY GIRL AND THE COUNTRY BOY (©1996)
by Nanette Littlestone

V1
She’s a city girl from New York City
Mighty rich and mighty pretty
All she cares about is movin’ fast.
He’s a simple country boy out walkin’
Doesn’t know about fast talkin’
Tryin’ to make the beautiful things last.

Chorus:
Well, city girls and country boys
They just don’t get along.
Doesn’t matter how you try
They’ve started out all wrong.
But this boy’s gonna change that fact
He just ain’t standin’ still.
‘Cause when he saw that city girl
It gave him quite a thrill.

V2
She likes convertibles and races
Hangin’ out in fancy places
Drinkin’ wine and eatin’ caviar.
He doesn’t understand her crowd
He thinks the people are too loud
But he is confident he can go far.

[Chorus]

V3
He moved right over by her side
She didn’t have a place to hide
He gazed down into her lovely face.
She glared right back at him defiant
Even though he was a giant
She knows how to put men in their place.

But then something happened to her
She didn’t understand.
It’s just like she was floatin’
‘Cause she wasn’t feelin’ land.
He bent and kissed her on the lips
And twirled her once or twice
And said, “I want to marry you,
I want you for my wife.”

[Chorus]

V4
She looked at this big gentle guy
She had a twinkle in her eye
And said, “I don’t suppose you’d dance
with me.
I think I’d like to be your wife.”
She kissed him not just once but twice
And he just looked at her and smiled
with glee.

Well, city girls and country boys
They just don’t get along.
Doesn’t matter how you try
They’ve started out all wrong.
But sometimes people’s lives can change
With help from up above.
That city girl and country boy
They went and fell in love.

That city girl and country boy
They went and fell in love.
