I'm a country girl,
I've never had the fancy things in life
But I know it's more important
than a mother and a wife
This man I've built my life around
He's good and kind and true
And I'd rather die lovin' him
Than to live a -wantin' to
He's got love to keep me warm
Arms to hold me tight
And he gives me the lovin'
that I need every night
He's everything I ever wanted
My life's been good, it's true
And I'd rather die lovin' him
Than to live a -wantin' to
We never dreamed of riches,
just each other we agreed
And the children we've
been blessed with
They're all the wealth we needed
To think I'd ever leave him
is a thought I never knew
Cause I'd rather die lovin' him
than to live a -wantin' to
He's got love to keep me warm,
arms to hold me tight
And he gives me the lovin'
that I need every night
He's everything I ever wanted
My life's been good, it's true
And I'd rather die lovin' him
Than to live a -wantin' to you
