I said, "Hey now, baby
Ain't you the girl next door?"
Reet petite, you must not eat
Bet you know the score
Friday night, don't sit at home
Let's strike up the band
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll steal a kiss
Maybe even hold your hand, yeah

Something about you, sweetheart
Well, I just can't explain
You're not like all those city girls
I don't think so, anyway
And I can't sleep a wink at night
Hoping dreams come true
You're gonna be a brand new country girl
When I get through with you

(In the sticks is where I lay)
Hey, girl, I got love
(In the sticks is where I play)
Love enough for you

In the sticks
Well, it's you and me, baby
And I ain't no country hick (oh)
But me and the city, we just don't mix

Dancin' on a moonbeam
When I finally caught your name
Said you had to be goin' soon
And I said that that's a shame
Took you down to the willow pond
Where the cattails grow real high
And in a few brief moments
We waved our childhood goodbye

(In the sticks is where I lay)
Hey, girl, I got love
(In the sticks is where I play)
Love enough for you

In the sticks
Well, it's you and me, baby
You know I ain't no country hick (whoa)
But me and the city, we just don't mix
We just don't mix
Let's go

Oh, yeah
In the sticks
Well, it's you and me, baby
And I ain't no country hick (whoa)
But me and the city, we just don't mix

Whoa, yeah
In the sticks
Well, it's you and me, baby
And I ain't no country hick (whoa)
But me and the city, we just don't mix
We just don't mix
We just don't mix
