Tales From The Big City


She moved down from Carolina
Searching for her mystery man
Fell in love on the internet
Didn't know what she was getting into

She was just a country girl
Didn't know life could be so hard
She was just a country girl
Didn't know much about the city life

She got a job at the local cafe
Serving coffee and pancakes
All the guys loved to see her smile
And she earned her weight in tips

She put her money in a cookie jar
Saving it up for a rainy day
Then he came into her life
And he took it all away

She was just a country girl
Didn't know life could be so hard
She was just a country girl
Didn't know much about the city life

Now she used her last quarter
And called up her momma 
Said I'm coming home tonight
Said I was such a fool
To have believed that I
Could have survived in a world so cruel

She was just a country girl
Didn't know life could be so hard
She was just a country girl
Didn't know much about the city life

She was just a country girl
Didn't know life could be so hard
She was just a country girl
Didn't know much about the city life
