Backwood’s Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She left the college cryin' He didn't understand her no more Now, she floats around the house Doesn't get much anymore [Verse 2] She's a queen of all the ladies But her soul's in deep despair But she floats around the place Doesn't even have a care [Bridge 1] She used to be the queen of all the boys in town She used to be the queen of the ball whenever she's around [Verse 3] But she left the college cryin' 'Cause he just couldn't understand her no more Now, she floats around the house Doesn't get much anymore [Verse 4] She's a queen of all the ladies But her pride begins to show She's just another honky-tonk, she's just up in the wall She's just kind of, kind of backwoods girl [Bridge 2] Oh, baby, don't you understand If it weren't for backwoods girls where'd be the backwoods men? [Verse 5] What you gonna try? What you gonna do to me, baby, when I go? If you think I'll be around (Hold it now) And you'll know it's your clown When the snow hits the ground I will be back [Bridge 3] She's just a backwoods girl, that's all she is And she makes this backwoods man awful, awful good [Verse 6] She's a queen of all the ladies Don't want to let him down Most of all she's my lady And she followed me around [Verse 7] She found the time to write me Just to let me know you ran away But Billie Sue was only twelve When her folks went away [Verse 8] They didn't understand What it took to make her groove And then she went to California With nothin', nothin' to lose [Verse 9] She arrived at the Greyhound station The corner of 7th and Market in San Francisco that night The night, it sure was right Right there tonight [Verse 10] Well, you see this backwoods girl She wanted to unfold the mystery As she walked down The San Francisco streets at night [Bridge 4] She was just a little girl that nobody understood They just said, "She'll go through her changes some day" [Verse 11] But you know as well as I do That she's her mind in tune And it makes no difference to her If her birthday comes in June [Bridge 5] Oh well, she's just a backwoods girl in the city Oh, she's just a backwoods girl in the city, Lord [Verse 12] But will you please come back to me Love this backwoods man one more time? Please come back, back, back, back to the woods And love me one more time [Outro] She's just a back, back, backwoods girl (Backwoods, that's what she gotta claim to fame Good night)
