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've come a long, long way For a hillbilly girl with the blues So if you think my song's too rough Please recall the road's been tough And 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 sing myself a little piece of mind Don't you know these city lights Can really blind a country girl People offer things she's too brave to refuse But there's nothing worse than neon When the morning sun shines through To a hillbilly girl To a hillbilly girl To a hillbilly girl With the blues With the blues With the blues
