WHYBMWL

You came from outta nowhere

Pink flower cowboy boots

I watched your long dark hair

Light up that dim lit room

"Where have you been my whole life?"

That's what I thought to myself

Chasing Mississippi girls

Never thought God had one waiting me on the other side of my world

The other side of my world

Yeah, girl, I've always wondered

Since the day I said, "Hello"

Where you been my whole life

Well, now I know
