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

Though absent from the U.S. country charts since 1990, she still continues to record and perform, having most recently released three independently recorded albums, Wild Horse Crossing on Shop Records in 1999; The Last Wild Place, on Song Dog Records in 2004; and her 2010 self-released Here's To Hank available on her website www.lacyjdalton.com. more »
