We don't dress for success,
We just plainly dress.
Were hard time,
And good loving women.
Up when the rooster crows,
Drink our coffee and out the door we go,
To feed our animals.
Clean up after our dogs, and chickens.
Tend to the farm,
While our husband is out making a living.
We don't need a JC Penny, Boscovs, or a Leggetts,
Just direct us to the nearest Dollar General, Walmart,
Or Tractor Supply.
We don't walk with our noses high,
We just tend to the house and watch time roll by.
That's a real country woman.
Loving our family,
And that's all that matters.
