Lyrics

WINNER OF THE BEEF STOCK AND PUMPKIN QUEEN.
STOLEN FROM THE PAGES OF A MAGAZINE.
SURE THAT SHE WAS GONNA BE MINE FOREVER MORE.

TWENTY YEARS OF LOVING ON OUR FEATHER BED.
SHE WOKE UP WITH THE CHICKENS AND SHE LOST HER HEAD.
SHE´S PACKING HER BAGS, SHE´S GONNA GO AND LEAVE ME ALONE.

SHE DON´T WANT THE FARM,
SHE WANTS A HOUSE
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM A ONE HORSE TOWN.
SAYS SHE´S GOING RIGHT TO THE CITY
WHAT SHE DRESSED UP PRETTY FOR...

SHE NEEDS LOVE,
I´VE GOT COWS.
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM POOR ME NOW.
´GUESS I´M GONNA MISS THAT GIRL
ALL ALONE SITTING ON THE PORCH...
COUNTRY AIN´T COUNTRY ANYMORE.

WE WERE LAZY LOVERS ON A DESERT SKY.
HIDE BEHIND THE BARN EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT.
NOW SHE´S PICKING LOBSTER IN A FIVE STAR RESTAURANT.

SHE DON´T WANT THE FARM,
SHE WANTS A HOUSE
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM A ONE HORSE TOWN.
SAYS SHE´S GOING RIGHT TO THE CITY
WHAT SHE DRESSED UP PRETTY FOR...

SHE NEEDS LOVE,
I´VE GOT COWS.
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM POOR ME NOW.
´GUESS I´M GONNA MISS THAT GIRL
ALL ALONE SITTING ON THE PORCH...
COUNTRY AIN´T COUNTRY ANYMORE.

WINNER OF THE BEEF STOCK AND PUMPKIN QUEEN.
DROPPED ME LIKE A PENNY ON A CROWED STREET.
TWENTY YEARS OF LOVING ON OUR FEATHER BED.
SHE STABBED ME IN THE HEART AND KICK ME IN THE HEAD.
I´M SLEEPING WITH THE DOG, I DRINK MYSELF TO DEATH.
I HAVEN´T SEEN LOVE SINCE SHE UP AND LEFT.
SHE EVEN TOOK MY CAR, SHE FILLED IT WITH MY BREAD.
I DON´T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT TOMORROW...

SHE DON´T WANT THE FARM,
SHE WANTS A HOUSE
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM A ONE HORSE TOWN.
SAYS SHE´S GOING RIGHT TO THE CITY
WHAT SHE DRESSED UP PRETTY FOR...

SHE NEEDS LOVE,
I´VE GOT COWS.
SHE DON´T WANT NOTHING FROM POOR ME NOW.
´GUESS I´M GONNA MISS THAT GIRL
ALL ALONE SITTING ON THE PORCH...
COUNTRY AIN´T COUNTRY ANYMORE.
