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


[Verse]
        E
Why not me on a rainy day?
        D
Why not me to love your cares away?
           A
Why not me?
        E
Why not me when the nights get cold?
        D
Why not me when you're growin' old?
           A
Why not me?


[Chorus]
            A
You've been searchin' from here to Singapore
                                                  G      D
Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby
            A
Why not me?
            A  
You had to see if the world was round
                                                        G      D
It's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be
            A
Why not me?


[Chorus]
            A
You've been lookin' for love all around the world
                                               G      D
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
            A
Why not me?
