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
