Backwood’s Girl

[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)
