[Verse 1]
You've been looking for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently
Why not me?

[Chorus]
Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growing old?
Why not me?

[Verse 2]
You've been searching from here to Singapore
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
Why not me?
Well, you had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settling down could be
Yeah, why not mе?

[Chorus]
Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your carеs away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growing old?
Why not me?

[Bridge]
Hey, why not me?
You've been looking for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Yeah, why not me?

[Outro]
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?
Yeah, why not me?
Why not me?
