(Written by Kevin Griffin)





There she is, white light

Descending like the color of rain

July or Fall

One thing will never change

Down and out you've found

This city has you on your back

You long for her

To take you away



And I

I want a Southern girl

I need a Southern girl

Well, I want a Southern girl



Scent of pine drifting by

Her hand traces lazy on your neck

Sunlight through the trees

Recalls a better time

Kids and dogs running by

She smiles as she drinks iced tea

Retire to the room

It's easy to see



That I

I want a Southern girl

I need a Southern girl

Well, I want a Southern girl



Take back the night

Claim your desires

Run 'till you crawl

In the morning you will find her there



And I

I want a Southern girl

I need a Southern girl

Well, I want a Southern girl
