Southern Girl

G
She loved Elvis on old 45’s
G
Stole my heart with her angel eyes
Cadd9
Sweet and easy was the best disguise
D
And she rocked my world, didn't have to try
G
She drank whiskey on water
G
Was a farmer's daughter
Cadd9
She'd sneak out as the nights got hotter
D
And I'm sure glad that he never caught her, and
Em                       D
When I think about those nights

Well I still smile

[Chorus 1]
G
You know there’s something about a southern girl
                         Em
Who knows exactly how to wreck your world
                   C
Falling on me like Kentucky rain
                       D
And hit my lips like a hurricane
                   G
With the look of a Georgia queen
                Em
A sundress or a pair of jeans
                       C
Slow and steady like a Bama tide
                           D
But she was sweet like the Carolines
                      G
She was strong like a Texas breeze
                       Em
From Tennessee down to New Orleans
               C
And she had me on my knees
              D
Begging, baby please
                                   G
You know there’s something about a southern girl

[Verse 2]
G
It was a blue dress on our first date
G
Drove me crazy, had me doing a double take
Cadd9
So call your mama, girl, we're gonna be out late
D
I made plans on a river and tailgate
G
And we drank whiskey on water
G
She was smiling when the moonlight caught her
Cadd9
Stars were falling down all across her
D
She moved away and that's where I lost her
Em                           D
But when I think about those nights

Well I still smile

[Chorus 2]
