Country GIrl

from Ghost Hits by Readum & Weepers

lyrics

This country town just can't hold a girl like you
So you left with $20 and your favorite high-heeled shoes

Went to the city where you knew you'd be a star
Got a job dancin' at a local corner bar

Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star
Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more
Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room
Gonna see your name in lights, and you're gonna see it soon

All those guys offer you fortune and fame
But they only love you when you show up with cocaine

Stole your roommate's guitar and you pawned your mamma's pearls
What ever happened to my little country girl?

Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star
Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more
Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room
Gonna see your name in lights ...

"Had to tell you I'm doin' great out here on my own
Clubbin' in the city sure is fun, not like the broken-down honky-tonks back home

"Met a man and it's gonna happen! I'm finally gonna be a star!
Start filmin' up in room 819 after we meet up at the hotel bar

"Had to run out on my cellphone bill; could you send $500 to the Western Union 'til I get paid?
It takes at least a month for one o' these movies to get made ..."

Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star
Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more
Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room
Gonna see your name in lights ...

Gonna hear your song tonight
And if things don't work out you can come home to me
