Lyrics

Why Not Me

[Verse 1]

You've been looking for love all around the world

Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?

Why not me?

Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown

Your Kentucky girl's been a-waiting patiently

Why not me?

[Chorus]

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 you're growin' old?

Why not me?

[Verse 2]

You've been searching from here to Singapore

Ain't it time that you notice 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 settlin' down could be

Why not me?

[Chorus]

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 you're growin' old?

Why not me?

[Bridge]

You've been lookin' for love all around the world

Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?

Why not me?

Why not me?

Baby, why not me?

[Outro]

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Oh, baby, why not me?

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Oh, baby, why not me?

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Oh, baby, why not me?

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la
