A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
Itโs such a contradiction, a heart thatโs filled with pain
A country girl in Paris, dreaminโ Nashville in the rain
She walks along the boulevard, Champs Alyse
Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles away
Pride is such a hard thing, itโs such a price to pay
To be all alone in Paris with true love so far away
Up upon Mont. Martre when she stops to rest awhile
All the artists look at her and they long to paint her smile
For even in her sorrow thereโs something in her eyes
That makes the young men jealous, makes the old men sigh
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
One more chance
A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
Itโs such a contradiction, a heart thatโs filled with pain
A country girl in Paris, dreaminโ Nashville in the rain
A country girl in Paris, longing for Nashville in the rain
