Down Home Uptown Girl
by Dave Undis and Dave Demay
VERSE
When I met her she was fresh from the city,
A little highbrow, but boy she was pretty.
She was still holding on to her uptown ways,
Eating caviar and drinking champagne.
But that all changed when I showed her around.
She turned country. You should see her now.
CHORUS
She’s my down home uptown girl.
You’d never believe she’s from another world.
A year ago she was highfalutin.
Now she’s honky-tonkin’ and boot-scootin’.
Livin’ and lovin’ the country way.
I’m lovin’ her more each and every day.
She’s a whole new girl…my down home uptown girl.
VERSE
She went and bought a pickup truck and sold her Maserati.
She’s diggin’ George Strait instead of Pavarotti.
She’s wearing cowboy boots, not Italian heels,
Eating meat and three instead of gourmet meals.
She drinks moonshine instead of cabernet.
She likes line dancin’ more than ballet.
CHORUS
She’s my down home uptown girl.
You’d never believe she’s from another world.
A year ago she was highfalutin.
Now she’s honky-tonkin’ and boot-scootin’.
Livin’ and lovin’ the country way.
I’m lovin’ her more each and every day.
She’s a whole new girl…my down home uptown girl.
BRIDGE
She can mend a fence, fix a truck,
Clean a fish and look fine when she’s frying it up.
She’s in a country state of mind.
My uptown girl’s getting more down home all the time.
CHORUS
She’s my down home uptown girl.
You’d never believe she’s from another world.
A year ago she was highfalutin.
Now she’s honky-tonkin’ and boot-scootin’.
Livin’ and lovin’ the country way.
I’m lovin’ her more each and every day.
She’s a whole new girl…she’s a whole new girl…
My down home uptown girl…my down home uptown girl.

Love the song. Chorus is great! The only thing I have to say about it is verse 2 with your comparisons but honestly I think it’s because I don’t know anyone who listens to Pavarotti so maybe that’s why I get distracted there. Also I had to google “meat and three” not being from the area. I had thought it was a local saying for eating meat 3 times a day lol..but great work for sure.
