I put on the mask and the makeup
Just to hide where the briars left scars
But these high-rise windows are cages
’Cause they’re always blocking the stars
Got a dashboard covered in memories
And a habit of staying out late
Trading the lights of the skyline
For the rust on a gravel pit gate
I don’t need much, just an open sky
Something honest, something mine
I’m a thousand miles from the county line
But I’m still running on small town time
There’s a red-dirt road in my chest
Lord, and it ain’t going nowhere
I still pray with my eyes wide open
With calloused hands and a heart stripped bare
You can dress me up, you can fix my hair
But I’m a ghost in your city-plan
Because deep in the wreckage and the beauty
I’m just a country girl at heart
Mama gave me the work ‘til it hurts
Daddy gave me the know when to fold
I’d rather have dirt on my fingernails
Than a pocket full of silver and gold
I don’t need the shine or the status
Keep your”who’s who and your where
Just give me a porch and a sunset
And the smoke of a late-night prayer
Yeah, I still nod when a stranger goes by
And I’m still honest when I look ‘em in the eye
There’s a red-dirt road in my chest
Lord, and it ain’t going nowhere
I still pray with my eyes wide open
With calloused hands and a heart stripped bare
You can dress me up, you can fix my hair
But I’m a ghost in your city-plan
Because deep in the wreckage and the beauty
I’m just a country girl at heart
I’ve tasted the wine and the caviar
But it left a bitter taste in my soul
Give me the crickets and the quiet
Let the silence make me whole
Yeah, that red-dirt road in my chest
It runs straight through who I am
I don’t care where this life drags me
I’m the daughter of the promised land
No more faking, no more playing the part
I’m just a jagged-edged, Bone-deep, Country girl at heart
Yeah, just a country girl, Rough around the edges, At heart
