Lyrics The Girl From Cincinnati - Bobbie Gentry

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 hangin' out with the stars
I played the backseat heroine
In a thousand different cars

From Cavalier to Playboy
To the Johnny Carson show
To holdin′ 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, I ain′t
Goin' back
To the bottom side of the track
You′ll never get me to go back
Ain't goin′ back, ooh
To Cincinnati
