The Girl I Am

This is about as country as country gets.

THE GIRL I AM.
Maddie McGuire/Boudreaux Roz
(c) 2004 GirlMoon Music/Roztaffarian Music

(G)(Em)
I'm outside sittin' 'neath the moon,
(G)(D)
With a Guinness in my hand.
(G)(Em)
I don't wanna see you anytime soon,
(G)(D)
Just let me be the girl I am.

I'm lookin' up just to see the stars,
I'm lookin' down just to pray.
I'm up in the air above all these cars,
Crossin' all these old highways.

{chorus one}
(G)(D)
So, I'm gonna smoke my Marleboro Red,
(G)(D)
And try to clear my spinnin' head.
(G)(Em)
And, When I do come back inside,
(G)(Em)
I'll shake your hand and say goodbye,
(G)(D)
'Cause that the kind of girl I am.

Been inside too many airports,
To stop travelin' now,
Don't try to catch me with words,
'Cause ya' wouldn't know how.

I know in you there's somethin' gold,
But I still can't help but leave.
'Cause you're just a little too cold,
So, please don't blame this on me.

{chorus two}
I'm gonna walk this dirty old road,
Never too sure of where I'll go,
But when I do come back inside,
I'll shake your hand and say goodbye,
'Cause that's the kind of girl I am.

Note: When Boudreaux does this song he just replaces "girl I am" with "man I am," and it works. When I sing it usually I use Guinness in winter, Shiner in spring and summer, and Killian's in the fall. Really you could do any beer brand, can't really replace the cigarette brand as I don't know of any others that rhyme with red or head.
