In a heartfelt ode to her roots, Kacey Musgraves weaves a tapestry of her journey from a small-town girl to a seasoned traveler touched by the vastness of the world. Yet, despite the allure of distant horizons and starlit skies in unfamiliar lands, she remains unshakeably grounded in her identity as a "dime store cowgirl." The song is an anthem for those who venture far but hold their origins close, celebrating the beauty of humble beginnings and the enduring call of home. Musgraves' lyrics gently remind us that no matter how far we roam or how much we change, our hearts often stay tethered to the familiar comfort of where we first learned to dream.
Dime Store Cowgirl
Lyrics
I've had my picture made with Willie Nelson
Stayed in a hotel with a pool
Driven through New Mexico where the saguaro cactus grow
And I felt really small under Mount Rushmore
And I made it all the way past Austin city limits
And maybe for a minute, I got too big for my britches, but
I'm just a dime store cowgirl
That's all I'm ever gonna be
You can take me out of the country
But you can't take the country out of me, no
'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden
Had to get away so I could grow
But it don't matter where I'm goin'
I'll still call my hometown home
Slept in a room with the ghost of Gram Parsons
And drank some wine I can't afford
Went to San Antonio to the river walk and the rodeo
Seen the white cliffs of Dover from the shore
And I kinda fell in love with a Palm Springs trailer park
But those California stars could never steal my heart
'Cause I'm just a dime store cowgirl
That's all I'm ever gonna be
You can take me out of the country
But you can't take the country out of me, no
'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden
Had to get away so I could grow
But it don't matter where I'm goin'
I'll still call my hometown home
I'm happy with what I got, 'cause what I got is all I need
Just 'cause it don't cost a lot, don't cost a lot
Don't mean it's cheap
'Cause I'm just a dime store cowgirl
That's all I'm ever gonna be
You can take me out of the country
But you can't take the country out of me, no
'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden
Had to get away so I could grow
But it don't matter where I'm goin'
I'll still call my hometown home
Yeah, I'll still call my hometown home
