Southern Girls

Southern Girls take away my fears
But your southern grace is miles away from here
Like a woman and child, you're a horse that's running wild
Southern girls are underneath my skin
Southern girls

Southern girls, sing your southern songs
Read to me from your book of poems
We danced to Patsy Cline, I thought that you were mine
That's when I became a southern fool
For southern girls

The sweet sweet smell of a summer night
Makes me sweat and holds me tight.
The Tennessee rain stays by my side,
But the Texas sun is always where you'll find me

Southern girls burning like the sun
Whisper in my ear your southern tongue
I love your fields of white and fireflies at night
Speak to me in that southern tongue
Southern girls

Below that Mason-Dixon line
The Georgia rain is always on my mind
Louisiana skies will be shining bright
They make me drive on through the night
Southern girls
Southern girls
Southern girls
Southern girls

Southern Girls take away my fears
But your southern grace is miles away from here
Southern girls burning like the sun
Whisper in my ear your southern tongue
Southern girls
