Southern Girl

(album: Lost My Brothers Goat - 2020)

She loved Elvis on old 45s
Stole my heart with her angel eyes
Sweet and easy was the best disguise
And she rocked my world, didn't have to try
She drank whiskey on water
Was a farmer's daughter
She'd sneak out as the nights got hotter
And I'm sure glad that he never caught her, and

When I think about those nights
Will I still smile?

You know the song about a southern girl
Who knows exactly how to wreck your world
Falling on me like Kentucky rain
And hit my lips like a hurricane
With the look of a Georgia queen
A sundress or a pair of jeans
Slow and steady like Alabama tide
But she was sweet like the Carolines
She was strong like a Texas breeze
From Tennessee down to New Orleans
And she had me on my knees
Begging, baby please
You know the song about a southern girl

It was a blue dress on our first date
Drove me crazy, had me doing a double take
So call your mama, girl, we're gonna be out late
I made plans on a river and tailgate
And we drank whiskey on the water
She was smiling when the moonlight caught her
Stars were falling down all across her
She moved away and that's where I lost her

When I think about those nights
Will I still smile?

You know the song about a southern girl
Who knows exactly how to wreck your world
Falling on me like Kentucky rain
And hit my lips like a hurricane
With the look of a Georgia queen
A sundress or a pair of jeans
Slow and steady like Alabama tide
But she was sweet like the Carolines
She was strong like a Texas breeze
From Tennessee down to New Orleans
And she had me on my knees
Begging, baby please
You know the song about a southern girl

You know the song about a southern girl
Who knows exactly how to wreck your world
Falling on me like Kentucky rain
And hit my lips like a hurricane
With the look of a Georgia queen
A sundress or a pair of jeans
Slow and steady like Alabama tide
But she was sweet like the Carolines
She was strong like a Texas breeze
From Tennessee down to New Orleans
And she had me on my knees
Begging, baby please
You know the song about a southern girl

Southern girl
You know the song about a southern girl
