[Verse 1]
You spend your days on the forty-second floor
Making plans for parties in the night
You got a man dressed up to stand there by the door
You're a girl who like everything just right
You wear the finest clothes and the latest fashions
You prefer to keep the conversation light
The magazines all say the way you oughta be
A high-class city girl from the country

[Chorus 1]
I've heard your kind of story
A hundred times before
Seen your face around
The fancy clubs downtown
And I won't stand in the way
While you're chasing down those dreams
And the years show on your face
I don't make a lot of money
I don't have a lot of friends
We all try to make something out of nothing in the end
That time is gonna pass
Someday you're gonna see
You're just a high-class city girl from the country

[Verse 2]
Back home all those girls ain't got nothing on you
You're an actress, model, and a singer too
Mama raised you right, Daddy lived to protect you
A high-class city girl from the country
[Chorus 2]
I've heard your kind of story
A hundred times before
Seen your face around
The fancy clubs downtown
And I won't stand in the way
While you're chasing down those dreams
And the years show on your face
I don't make a lot of money
I don't have a lot of friends
But baby, you know I would love you 'til the end
That time is gonna pass
Someday you're gonna see
You're just a high-class city girl from the country
