She loved Elvis on old 45’s

Stole my heart with her angel eyes

And she rocked my world, didn't have to try

Was a farmer's daughter

And I'm sure glad that he never caught her, and
E minorEm D MajorD
When I think about those nights
Well I still smile

You know there’s something about a southern girl

Who knows exactly how to wreck your world

And hit my lips like a hurricane

With the look of a Georgia queen

Begging, baby please
