Olivia Newton-John - Country Girl Lyrics






I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
The call of the city life kept going through my mind
Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind

It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground
Pa said the time had come when I could move to town
So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand
I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand
'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind
Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I'll come back to you, believe me
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

    I'm SHOOK this absolute BOP is not available on Spotify.... This album saved my life.

  15. N.... Y....

    Played the heck out of this LP when I was a little little kid. No wonder I still know every single word of each song. "music" these days is neither as pure or as clean as this. You rock ONJ.

  16. H.... C....

    This was one of my favorite albums and this was my favorite. Too bad It’s not on iTunes.

  17. L.... B....

    My first 8-track tape! I played it so much that it broke and begged my mom to buy me another one. I was 11. Brings back so many memories. Thanks so much for posting!

  18. M.... G....

    I broke this tape I listened to it so much

  19. G.... M....

    I was born and raised in the country. From bobcats in the front yard to scorpions in the bathtub (while I was taking a bath! ). Went into the Navy for 6 years but I came back. Mom cried when I left, I cried when I got back. Got my own place in the country and never left. Sad that Olivia forgot her roots.

  20. S.... Z....

    I searched all over for this song, founf it here. this song sold me on ONJ long before Grease. her pure and angelic voice has stood the test of time. there won't ever be another ever close to her.

    S.... Z....

    Surely,she is angelic and best.

  21. c.... ....

    WOW! I finally found this song after decades of searching on-and-off!

    I remember this playing on the radio in my Mom's car when I was eight-years-old, and, since, I never realized it was Olivia...and, I never heard it again. (The things that get caught in your brain that you remember, but, can't quite figure out!?!?).

    I couldn't find this because I only heard it once; and, because the radio stations only play the "SAME SHIT" over and over...I never heard this song again. I even remember what my Mom, my Aunt, my Sister, my Cousin, and, I, did that day - we had those "Once Popular" "SHADOW" profile photos made of us kids.

    I thought it was some obscure song by some obscure singer who was a One-Hit-Wonder.

    Thank you so very much for posting this! :)

    c.... ....

    classiclistener01 I too finally found it. made my military nights on watch go by nicely.

  22. M.... N....

    One of the best albums ever! Had all of her cassette tapes and this record album. Moved out of my parents house at 18 and bugged them to find this album for me. They gave it to my aunt and that was that.... Thank you for sharing this album, brings back such fond memories of being a young girl and listening to her soothing and calming voice.

    M.... N....

    I put 5 of her albums on my player every night before bed back then. Fond memories of a young boy smitten by a stunning woman with a pure voice. :) Here's to our memories!

  23. I.... H....

    I have always loved her as a teenager growing up and still do! This was a song among others of her I deeply fell in love with.  This song does bring tears to your eyes, especially if your parents are no longer with you.  Thank you so much Olivia!

  24. J.... R....

    memorable one and melodious

  25. s.... b....

    Wow, it's hard to sit through that one without getting a little verklempt.

  26. C.... M....

    very hard to find this song anywhere

    C.... M....

    +Clay Moorer Agree. Found it on weird sites but don't want to destroy my computer downloading.

    C.... M....

    +Clay Moorer not just this song many others as well, in fact i have countless cassette tapes of various songs that i cant find anywhere online

  27. t.... b....

    wow...I had all of her early albums..yes albums (wow)..and I knew every single song..this is so nice to hear!

    t.... b....

    Ha, I used to put 5 of her albums on the record player every night to go to sleep with. Mid 70's. This was one. I was floored by her voice and music. Still am. Brings chills listening to them again!

  28. A.... S....

    I'll be coming home someday.......

    I KNOW EVERY WORD TO THIS ALBUM. MEMORIES SO SWEET & INNOCENT!

  34. C.... F....

    I grew up with this album. I know every lyric and I have not heard any of it since I was a little girl. Listening to Country Girl made me cry because of the flood of childhood memories of being a country girl. I would sing this song while walking on down a dirt road to my bus stop. I wanted out of the country life so bad, and when I did, I wanted back in. Thank you for making my day.

    C.... F....

    LOL, human nature to want what you don"t. I think now I need to hit the used record store.

    C.... F....

    Me too!

    C.... F....

    I wore this album OUT I played it so much! Glad YouTube has it on here. Brings back some very good memories of my childhood!
