8th Day

8 years old, gone fishin'

With a handful of worms

On a river bank with her daddy cheeks all smudged in dirt

Shes so proud, catchin' fish, missin' both front teeth

Her daddy blind and happy, to the trouble she'll be

(And oh the trouble she'll be)

Complicated, wonder must have took more time

To figure her out

To get perfect just right

7 days he took then he said

It's good but there's just somethin' missin' in my world

So on the 8th day, God made country girls

Mmmmhmmm, country girls

Teenage boy at an auction

Gettin' out bid on a truck

By a pony tail in the front row

Wearin' boots and trackin' mud

Hes so mad

But she's so cute

He just can't speak his mind

She winks as she passes

Says "Hon, looks like you'll need a ride"

(Oh aint he in for a ride)

Complicated, wonders gonna take him time

To figure her out

To get perfect just right

Couple dates in the woods

Then he said "this is good

You were the something missin' in my world"

Thank heaven on the 8th day

God made country girls

Mmmmhmmm, country girls

Make you laugh

Make you cry

Make you pace the porch on a friday night

With a shotgun at your side

Cuzy he's late again

Screen door creeks

Your wife steps out

She said "Honey, you stand down, that used to be you and I

And, don't you forget, and if he's anything like you

He's in over his head

Complicated, wonders gonna take some time

To figure her out

To get perfect just right

Cuz 7 days it took the Lord said "It's good

But there's still somethin' missin' in this world"

So on the 8th day

God made, country girls

Mmmmhmmm, country girls

Country girls, mmmhmmm

Country girls
