Long hair tossing around in the summer breeze Sweet perfume and the smell of magnolia trees I know In this whole world There ain't no prettier sight Than a southern girl on a summer night Soft music drifting by on the radio Love glowing in her eyes as we dance real slow I know In this whole world There ain't no prettier sight Than a southern girl on a summer night Close together in the shadows Moonlight dancing on her skin I'd give up all of my tomorrows If this night would never end Ohh Day breaks Another cold city day begins I wake and find I was dreaming again I'd give this whole wide world To be back in the moonlight With my southern girl On a summer night With my southern girl On a summer night Hmm Southern girl Ohhhhhhh Southern girl Written by: Archie Jordan and Joel Rice
