Lyrics
Well I was raised up north in the city
Reflecting on being raised in a northern city
In a house up on a hill with lots of charm
Describing the house with charm on a hill
But every summer on vacation
Summer vacations involved a trip to Oklahoma
Oklahoma was the destination
Oklahoma was the chosen destination for vacations
And we'd have lots of fun on Grandpa's farm
Enjoying fun times on Grandpa's farm during vacations
We'd run like crazy chasin' after chickens
Recalling playful moments chasing chickens
We'd help Grandpa pitch hay in the barn
Assisting Grandpa in the barn with hay pitching
Bakin' Grandma's pecan pie
Participating in baking Grandma's pecan pie
Fireworks on the 4th of July
Celebrating Independence Day with fireworks
Up all nite and no one gave a darn
Staying up all night with a carefree attitude
Yeah I was raised in the city
Despite being raised in the city, country roots are strong
But country's in my blood
Feeling a connection to the country lifestyle
Like cattle in the field
Comparing oneself to cattle in the field
Or hogs in the mud
Drawing parallels to hogs in the mud
I felt at home down there
Feeling at home in the countryside
Right from the start
Country roots were evident from the beginning
The summer wind blowin' thru my hair
Describing the feeling of the summer wind in hair
Lovin' life without a care
Enjoying life without worries
Guess I'm just a country girl at heart
Identifying as a country girl at heart
Now I got myself married in the meantime
Reflecting on getting married and starting a new life
My little family's makin' a new start
Starting a new chapter with a small family
We got ourselves a little daughter
Having a daughter and passing on country values
Learnin' everything her mama taught her
Teaching the daughter everything learned from the mother
I know that she's a country girl at heart
Acknowledging that the daughter is also a country girl at heart
Yeah I was raised in the city
Reiterating the contrast of city upbringing with country roots
But country's in my blood
Emphasizing the strong connection to country life
Like cattle in the field
Comparing oneself to cattle in the field (repeated)
Or hogs in the mud
Drawing parallels to hogs in the mud (repeated)
I felt at home down there
Feeling at home in the countryside (repeated)
Right from the start
Country roots evident from the beginning (repeated)
The summer wind blowin' thru my hair
Describing the feeling of the summer wind in hair (repeated)
Lovin' life without a care
Enjoying life without worries (repeated)
Guess I'm just a country girl at heart
Identifying as a country girl at heart (repeated)
Yeah I guess I'm just a country girl at heart
Reiterating the self-identification as a country girl at heart (repeated)
