A country girl in Paris moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee Nashville in the  rain It's such a contradiction a heart that's filled with  pain A country girl in Paris dreamin'  Nashville in the  rain She walks along the boulevard Champs Elysee Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles  away Pride is such a hard thing It's such a price to  pay To be  all alone in Paris with true  love so far  away Up upon Montmartre when she  stops to rest a  while All the artists look at her and they  long to paint her  smile For  even in her sorrow there's  something in her  eyes That makes the young men jealous  makes the old men  sigh                                            A country girl in Paris . . . They say the loss of innocence is  always linked to  pain For once the heart is opened nothing  ever is the  same And so the evening lends itself to  lovers and ro  mance The way to heal a broken heart is to  give true love Just  one more  chance  A country girl in Paris moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee Nashville in the  rain It's such a contradiction a heart that's filled with  pain A country girl in Paris dreamin'  Nashville in the  rain A country girl in Paris longing  for Nashville in the  rain
