Lyrics:

“Why Not Me” topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for two weeks in December of 1984.
You've been looking for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown
Your Kentucky girl's been a-waiting patiently
Why not me?

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growin' old?
Why not me?

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

Why not me on a rainy day?
Why not me to love your cares away?
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold?
Why not me when you're growin' old?
Why not me?

You've been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free?
Why not me?
Why not me?
Baby, why not me?

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Oh, baby, why not me?
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Oh, baby, why not me?
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Oh, baby, why not me?
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
