Country Girls Need A Little Love

[Verse 1]
She’s got hay in her hair
Dust on her Sunday shoes
Laughs too loud at everything
Knows all the hometown news
She’ll bake you peach pie
Then beat you at pool
Wears her heart on that flannel sleeve
Like it never learned to be cool
[Chorus]
Country girls need a little love
Little hand on the wheel when the road gets rough
Little dance in the dark by the pickup truck
Slow kiss, long hug, don’t rush
They act so tough, but it ain’t that much
To make ‘em feel like they’re enough
Yeah, tough as the dirt, soft as a dove
Country girls need a little love
[Verse 2]
She’ll work that double shift
Still bring her mama flowers
Sing off-key to the radio
On those ten-mile drives for hours
She’ll say she’s “fine, just tired”
Then change the subject fast
But you can see in those tired eyes
She needs more than her hard past
[Chorus]
Country girls need a little love
Little hand on the wheel when the road gets rough
Little dance in the dark by the pickup truck
Slow kiss, long hug, don’t rush
They act so tough, but it ain’t that much
To make ‘em feel like they’re enough
Yeah, tough as the dirt, soft as a dove
Country girls need a little love
[Bridge]
So pull her in closer (hey)
Let that guard fall down
Call her by her first and middle name
Like her daddy did in town
Tell her she’s wonder, tell her she’s worth
Every prayer you’re dreaming of
‘Cause even the strongest hearts on earth
Still need a little love
[Chorus]
Country girls need a little love
Little hand on the wheel when the road gets rough
Little dance in the dark by the pickup truck
Slow kiss, long hug, don’t rush
They act so tough, but it ain’t that much
To make ‘em feel like they’re enough
Yeah, tough as the dirt, soft as a dove
Country girls need a little love
Country girls need a little love

country, Modern radio country with mid-tempo swing, warm acoustic guitars, brushed snare, and a mellow bass groove; male vocals up front with stacked harmonies on the hook, steel guitar fills in the gaps. Verses stay intimate and conversational, chorus lifts with a wider stereo field and a small organ pad, bridge strips back to vocal and guitar before a final, big-chorus payoff.
