You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby don't you know this country girl's still free
Why not me
You've finally come down to your old hometown
Your Kentucky girl's been waitin' patiently
Why not me

Why not me on a rainy day why not me to love your cares away
Why not me
Why not me when the nights get cold why not me when we're growin' old
Why not me

You've been searchin' from here to Singapore
Ain't it time that you noticed the girl next door baby
Why not me
You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settin' down could be
Why not me

Why not me on a rainy day...
You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby don't you know that this country girl's still free
Why not me
Why not me baby why not me
Oh baby baby why not me oh baby baby why not me
