• Outside her room the city raced
    People lived their lives fast paced
    She wondered how she would live
    In places were there was more to give
    In places where the sky went on
    Forever. The place where she belonged
    That born-and-bred country girl
    Caught up in the city's whirl
    Longed to return to the wide plains
    The dusty roads, the savored rains
    But something stopped her, held her there
    The boy with that summer hair

    Inside his room he wrote a song
    To show her that his love was strong
    The country girl that he met
    And that friendship he didn't regret
    The city boy with summer hair
    Who lived an breathed the smoggy air
    Fell deep in love, couldn't get out
    She was his life, without a doubt
    But if she left, would he follow?
    Or would he stay, his life so hollow?

    Outside her room the country crawled
    But life there never did get old
    The born-and-bred country girl
    No longer in the city's whirl
    But at home with the wide plains
    The dusty roads, the savored rains
    And also living with her there
    The boy with that summer hair
