bobbie gentry - girl from cincinnati lyrics

Loading...

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
