Friends, I know darn well
That I'm headed straight for hell
If I keep on livin' the crazy way I do
But I really have to say
I have come a long, long way
For a hillbilly girl with the blues
If you think my song's too rough
Please recall the road's been tough
Do not judge me, darlin', 'till you've worn my shoes
I have never tried to hide
How I really feel inside
I'm just a hillbilly girl with the blues
Someday soon, I'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And I won't look back 'till I leave these blues behind
I'm gonna play my old guitar
Praise the Lord and pass the jar
I'm gonna seek myself a little peace of mind
Don't you know these city lights
Can really blind a country girl
People often think she's too green to refuse
But there's nothin' worse than neon
When the mornin' sun shines through
To a hillbilly girl, to a hillbilly girl
To a hillbilly girl with the blues
With the blues
