Now I ain't sayin' them
L.A. ladies don't know
what they doin'
And I've 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
But the fireflies play
where the cattails grow
And them southern girls
They talk nice and slow with
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 nothin' in the
whole wide world
Like a southern girl
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
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 nothin' in the
whole wide world
Like a southern girl
If you've ever seen
Savannah heat up
when the stars come out
Well then fellas come on
You know what
I'm talkin' about yeah
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 nothin' in the
whole wide world
Like a southern girl
