The heart of a country girl
is nothing like you’ve ever seen
She’s from another world
Raised up on a rusted dream
But those rusted tools still work
She’s out digging in the dirt
Tending to something sweet
She still believes in the ground beneath her feet
She knows how to run
She knows how to wrangle
She’s out in the sun
Calloused feet, hair mangled
What’s the point of this life she asks
If I can’t give it a whirl
That’s the heart of a country girl
As this world turns black and blue
Fires, floods, nightmares in the news
The country girl holds fast to her dreams
She’s got seeds in the pockets of her jeans
Emily Mann and Wila Frank-Songwriters
