  Gainesville Girl

I was a young manchild with a one way ticket
Took the Greyhound line south on I-75
I got off in the swamps of the deep, deep South
It was sizzling outside
Sweat drip in July

The old man at the station gave me the low down
He said there's pretty, pretty women all over this town
He said, 'look man, right there, over there goes your proof
See it for yourself son, I been tellin' the truth'

That's when she turned my head around, 360 all around
She drove me to the ground, my dirty knees on the ground
And let me tell you brother, I don't care what you say
She'd have done the same to you
Yeah that Gainesville girl sure showed me a trick or two

She was a red hot rockin' mama, she got down
She took me east, west, north, south, up, downtown
She wore a tight black dress around her funky mystique
She was my candy store girl, I was her sugar boy freak

I still can't believe the things she done
I said, 'call the doctor, call 911'
She said, 'one more, two more, three',
I said, 'baby I'm tired'
She was an hourglass girl, a dark-eyed queen of desire

She turned my head around, 360 all around
She drove me to the ground, my dirty knees on the ground
And let me tell you brother, I don't care what you say
She'd have done the same to you
Yeah that Gainesville girl sure showed me a trick or two

I've been to Atlanta, and I've been to Pensacola
Tallahassee, Orlando, Savannah, Daytona
But those Gainesville girls, they defy all depiction
No use in even tryin' to describe a description

When life is a bitch really ain't no sweat
I don't ever give in, I don't ever regret
I just think of that jaw-droppin' Gainesville girl down south
And I remember the boy with the tongue hangin' out of his mouth

She turned my head around, 360 all around
She drove me to the ground, my dirty knees on the ground
And let me tell you brother, I don't care what you say
She'd have done the same to you
Yeah that Gainesville girl sure showed me a trick or two
