Sweet Country Girl
I got my family
Hid at the swamp
That’s where they wait for me
Until my work is done
And then they give to me
What I deserve
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?
Not one penny more
Not one penny more
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?
Her mama washes sheets
At the local laundrymat
For a man that keeps the beds
At the hotel ’round the back
And I know that she’s still dreaming
‘Bout the time that she’ll be free
Riding down the road and getting high
Just like she always knew she’d be
Well not one penny more
Not one penny more
What more could I ask
From this sweet country girl?
And ya find yourself taking off
And ya find yourself in this skidrow town
And ya find yourself a deserted pawn
You got to pay your dues with no money down, down
Well she hooked up with a carnival man
And he took her all across the land
And he left her in a hotel in Pheonix
Without a penny in her hand
Well she woke up the next morning
She put her sunblock on
And then went down to the corner where she knew that she belonged
Not one penny more
Not one penny more
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?
Not one penny more
Not one penny more
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?
What more could I ask
Of this sweet country girl?

I’m not sure if it’s “a deserted pawn” or not, feedback would be appreciated :-)
