Lyrics
I got this Nashville song
In this Nashville style
About this southern girl
And her southern smile
The same three words
They don?t mean so much
She says I?ll be gone
But I?ll stay in touch
You?re leaving soon
So this won?t take long
But if I?m so right
How I can I be wrong
Don?t waste time
Unless you take me home
To some Nashville house
In some Nashville storm
Walk with the razor burn
Red like a rose from the south
You?ve got it all figured out
For the next hundred days
Be who you want to be
Baby I want you free
Whenever you come to me
You know what I want
I?ve been waiting so long
walk with me
You can be my friend
It?s hard enough
Just to catch my breath
I feel this love
And I don?t know why
for this southern girl
And her southern smile
