Told all my buddies, on the block good bye,
                            G          
as we drove away I wiped, a tear from my eye, 

I thought my life had come to an early end,
                      C
but this is where the sto-ry begins

My daddy promised me, I’d make new friends, 
                               G
but still I wondered how, in a town of only ten,

There at the dairy queen my first night,
                    C
have mer-cy, it was love at first sight


Chorus:
C
Thank God for country girls, 
                  G 
big blue eyes and long blonde curls, 

I wouldn’t miss this for the whole wide world,
              C
Thank God for country girls.

She was all by herself, sittin’ at a corner booth,
                             G
Wearin’ a summer dress and a pair of cowgirl boots,

I heard her hummin’ a Merle Haggard song,
                  C
I looked down, my heart was gone.

I walked up to her, she saw my hesitation,
                                G
I asked her if she had a dinner reservation, 

she said I’d love to have your company,
                       C
I said hello love, goodbye mister lonely


Chorus:
C
Thank God for country girls,
                  G
big blue eyes and long blonde curls,

I wouldn’t miss this for the whole wide world,
              C
Thank God for country girls.

I told my friends back home they were missin’ out,
                             G
so they came to see what the fuss was all about,

before the first night had come and gone,
              C                N.C
they were all singin’ my song, and they sang,


Chorus:
C
Thank God for country girls, 
                  G
big blue eyes and long blonde curls, 

I wouldn’t miss this for the whole wide world,
              C
Thank God for country girls.
