Words and music by rick nielsen and tom petersson

I've been north,

I've been east to the california beach

There's only one place i know where to find you

And all you southern girls got a way with your words

And you show it

You say hump and i'll jump

You say go and i'll know

Waste no time getting

So close to you

And you'll never run way

When you find out why i wanted to find you



Ooh baby need some brand new shoes

Get out on the street

You got nothing to lose

You rock me and your crazy

And everyone says it, yeah yeah

Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

Southern girls, you got nothing to lose



I've been up i've been down

I've been weak i've been strong

But i never met someone like you

And you'll never run away

When you find why i wanted to find you

You say hump and i'll jump

You say go and i'll know

Waste no time getting

So close to you

All you southern girls

Got a way with your words

And you show it



Ooh baby need some brand new shoes

Get out on the street

You got nothing to lose

You rock me and your crazy

And everyone says it, yeah yeah

Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

Southern girls, you got nothing to lose



You think this boy, he loves you

Southern girls

You make it hard oh, so hard

I've been north, i've been east to the california beach

There's only one place i know where to find you

And all you southern girls got a way with your words

And you show it



Ooh baby need some brand new shoes

Get out on the street

You got nothing to lose

You rock me and your crazy

And everyone says it, yeah yeah



Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

Southern girls

Southern girls

Southern girls
