The Girl From Cincinnati Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took the Continental Trailways
'Cause I didn't have the fare
To get from Cincinnati
To Los Angeles by air

[Verse 2]
The guy who said he'd meet me
In a shiny limousine
With a contract in his pocket
Turned out to be a queen

[Verse 3]
He could not see my body
Or appreciate my good looks
Had I fallen for some story
That I read in all the books?

[Chorus]
But I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the tracks
No, no, and I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the tracks
No, I ain't
Goin' back
To Cincinnati

[Verse 4]
So I got myself an agent
With a roll of dollar bills
And a Beverly- type mansion
In the middle of the Hills

[Verse 5]
I was friendly with producers
And was heading out with the stars
I played the backseat heroine
In a thousand different cars

[Verse 6]
From Cavalier to Playboy
To the Johnny Carson show
To holding up some dogfood
For a firm in Idaho

[Verse 7]
I've a screen test every weekend
And I'm constantly on call
I'll be 25 next summer
And 35 next fall

[Chorus]
But I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the track
No, no, I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the track
You'll never get me to go back
Goin' back, woo
To Cincinnati
