Sweet little country girl

with ribbons in your hair

That blue and white dress

it's your favorite one to wear

Smiling at the toys in that store window

singing along to the sounds of the Opry

Kick the can and tea parties

you're my favorite down-home memory

Sing for the family show

pray the Lord your soul to keep

It's a rhinestone world out there

and your old fashioned talk is cheap

Sweet young country girl

pretty little sparkles in your hair

You gave your heart away

smile for the cameras to show you care

Baby number one wants to play

and number two is hungry at 2 am

You gave it your all for so long

How much longer will you pretend you still love him

Sing for the family show

pray the Lord your soul to keep

It's a rhinestone world out there

and your old fashioned talk is cheap

Sweet country girl

touches of gray are in your hair

A sign of the life you lived

those photographs you hang up there

A traditional country family

one more birthday candle

A new picture to keep

how much more can you handle

Sing for the family show

pray the Lord your soul to keep

It's a rhinestone world out there

and your old fashioned talk is cheap

Sweet little country girl

you're my favorite down-home memory
