Girl From Cincinnati lyrics

Song information

Artist: Bobbie Gentry
Album: Chickasaw County Child

Lyrics

Took the continental trailways
'Cause I didn't have the fare
To get from cincinnati to los angeles by air

The guy who said he'd meet me
In a shiny limousine
With a contract in his pocket
Turned out to be a queen

He could not see my body
Or appreciate my good looks
Had I fallen for some story
That I read in all of the books

But I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the tracks
No, no, and I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the tracks
No I ain't goin' back
To cincinnati

So I got myself an agent
With a roll of dollar bills
And a beverly type mansion
In the middle of the hills

I was friendly with producers
And was heading out with the stars
I played the backseat heroine
In a thousand different cars

From cavalier to playboy
To the johnny carson show
To holding up some dogfood
For a firm in idaho

I've a screen-test every weekend
And I'm constantly on call
I'll be twenty-five next summer
And thirty-five next fall

But I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the track
No, no, and I ain't
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the track
You'll never get me to go back
Ain't goin' back
To cincinnati
