At a trendy party, on the west side of town Every fashion statement, every glittery gown Flashing lights and the music is loud A stranger appears in the midst of the crowd In a simple cotton dress, a girl with a pretty face But she's so plain, she looks out of place She doesn't seem to notice that we stare No, she looks so self-assured, as if she doesn't care I wonder if she's from some mountain home somewhere She seems to know just who she is Leaving us to guess Tonight she dances in a simple blue cotton dress See the way she dances, how she seems to be free She never tries to be part of the scene Did she wear it as a way to redeem Something she lost just to follow a dream? And does she miss her friends, the warm fireplace Or a simple life, an easier pace? She doesn't seem to notice that we stare No, she looks so self-assured, as if she doesn't care Wonder if she's from some mountain home somewhere She seems to know just who she is Leaving us to guess Tonight she dances in a simple blue cotton dress Watching her so self-assured Standing in the light Did she trade a simple life for something new? I know, 'cause I traded mine too She doesn't seem to notice that we stare No, she looks so self-assured, as if she doesn't care Wonder if she's from some mountain home somewhere She seems to know just who she is Leaving us to guess Tonight she dances in a simple blue cotton dress Tonight she dances in a simple blue cotton dress
