Ronnie Milsap - Local Girls lyrics

rate me

Oh, I was kicked back in a rented cabana,

Easin' my mind with some old Carlos Santana,

Nibblin' on banana moon pie,

When I swore I saw an angel from Heaven floatin' by.

Then I thought: "No, no way: she must be from around here."

She got one of those tans you just know she wears all year.

Swayin', sashayin', flip-floppin' along,

Like wherever she may be is right where she belongs.

An' I thought: "Oooh, I love the local girls."

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

"I love the local girls.

"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local girls."

I said: "Madam, if you have nowhere to go,

"Can I interest you in an ice-cold Pacifico?"

An' she said: "As luck would have it,

"I got nothin' but time,"

She reached in her back-pack,

Said: "Down here you'll find,

"That a lady don't leave home,

"Without a couple of limes."

An' I said: "Oooh, I love the local girls."

"Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

"I love the local girls.

"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local girls."

Later on she took me to this bar built out of cinder blocks,

One of those joints with a notice to shell park in line.

While we were dancin', she whispered: "I like you a lot."

An' I said: "My, my, my, go on: say that one more time."

Five years later, here I am intermittent

With a couple a-toaheads as that big ol' orange sun is settin'.

I can't believe how good it's stuill gettin',

As I watch my daughters splashin' in the water.

An' I thought: "Oooh, I love the local girls."

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

"I love the local girls.

(Here she come, now.)

"Lo, lo, local; (Hey.)

"Lo, lo, local; (Here she come, now.)

"Lo, lo, local girls.

"Lo, lo, local; (Ooh.)

"Lo, lo, local; (Whoo.)

I love the local girls.

"Lo, lo, local; lo, lo, local;

I love the local girls.

I love the local girls.

I love the local girls...
