Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I ain't saying them LA ladies don't know what they doing
And I been in love with New York City a time or two
I had some Seattle coffee, some Chicago wind
Some Kansas wheat fields I'd love to see again
[PreChorus]
But the fireflies play where the cattails grow
And them Southern girls, they talk nice and slow with
[Chorus]
Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know?
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a Southern girl
[Bridge]
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long
[Verse 2]
A Southern girl's mama probably taught her how a lady should act
But a Southern girl's probably got a barn somewhere out back
She'll get a little hay in her hair, her tires in the mud
She's been caught in the rain and washed in the blood
Likes cherries in her Coke, takes a little sip
Comes over to me with them sunburned lips and them
[Chorus]
Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know?
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a Southern girl
[Bridge]
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long
[Verse 3]
And if you've ever seen Savannah heat up when the stars come out
Well then, fellas, come on, you know what I'm talking about, yeah
[Chorus]
Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know? (Hey)
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a Southern girl
[Bridge]
Southern girl, rock my world
Put on a country song
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
We'll dance all night long
[Bridge]
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long
[Outro]
Southern girl, rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long
