"Country Road" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton - Gary Scruggs)

Saw you turnin' down main street in your big, black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill, with a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust you never pay me no mind.

Chorus:
You're livin' in the fast lane I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs just plain ole calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover and they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road that you keep turnin' down.

If you ever hit a dead end street if it's love that you're looking for
You can always turn around and beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map you seem to know your way around
So when you're tired of spinnin' your wheels, baby, we can go to town.

Chorus:
We're livin' in the fast lane I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs just plain ole calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover and they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road that you keep turnin' down.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll never be a fast lane lover and they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road that you keep turnin' down.

I am just a country road that you keep turnin' down.

Chorus:
You're livin' in the fast lane I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs just plain ole calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover and they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road that you keep turnin' down...
