"Country Girl Blues" is one of a number of songs that appear in the 2001 erotic thriller Forbidden Highway. Written and performed by (the non-existent) Junior Lightning Boy, it appears around 55 minutes into the film:

Country girl
Look so fine baby
But I ain't got the time

That may be what the song says, but the film says something very different, because after having his car stolen by the female lead, Elrey is offered a lift by a country girl, and shortly they end up naked in the back of her truck under the desert sun.

"Country Girl Blues" is copyrighted 1999 by Hopkins-Olaitan Music. >>
