Bobbie Gentry Girl From Cincinnati Lyrics

Girl From Cincinnati Lyrics

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
