A Country Girl In Paris

A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain
A country girl in Paris, dreamin' Nashville in the rain

She walks along the boulevard, Champs-Élysées
Thinks about a country boy 3000 miles away
Pride is such a hard thing, it's such a price to pay
To be all alone in Paris with true love so far away

Up upon Montmartre, when she stops to rest awhile
All the artists look at her, and they long to paint her smile
For even in her sorrow, there's something in her eyes
That makes the young men jealous, makes the old men sigh

Hmm, mm
Hmm, mm
Mm-mm
Whoa
A country girl in Paris

They say the loss of innocence is always linked to pain
For once the heart is opened, nothing ever is the same
And so the evening lends itself to lovers and romance
The way to heal a broken heart is to give true love
Just one more chance

A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain
A country girl in Paris, dreamin' Nashville in the rain
A country girl in Paris, longing for Nashville in the rain
