I've had my picture made with Willie Nelson Stayed in a hotel with a pool Driven through New Mexico where the saguaro cactus grow And I felt really small under Mount Rushmore And I made it all the way past Austin city limits And maybe for a minute, I got too big for my britches, but I'm just a dime store cowgirl That's all I'm ever gonna be You can take me out of the country But you can't take the country out of me, no 'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden Had to get away so I could grow But it don't matter where I'm goin' I'll still call my hometown home Slept in a room with the ghost of Gram Parsons Drank some wine I can't afford Went to San Antonio to the river walk and rodeo Seen the white cliffs of Dover from the shore And I kinda fell in love with a Palm Springs trailer park But those California stars could never steal my heart 'Cause I'm just a dime store, a cowgirl That's all I'm ever gonna be You can take me out of the country But you can't take the country out of me, no 'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden Had to get away so I could grow And it don't matter where I'm goin' I'll still call my hometown home I'm happy with what I got, 'cause what I got is all I need Just cause it don't cost a lot, don't cost a lot, don't mean it's cheap 'Cause I'm just a dime store cowgirl That's all I'm ever gonna be You can take me out of the country But you can't take the country out of me, no 'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden Had to get away so I could grow But it don't matter where I'm goin' I'll still call my hometown home I'll still call my hometown home
