[Lyrics]
She's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
One look in her eyes and you forget everything
You had ready to say
And I saw her today, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown
Said she'd never been in trouble, even in the town
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
And should I hang around, acting like her brother
In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
And why?
If I wait I'll just die, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown
Said she'd never been in trouble, even in the town
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
She's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
One look in her eyes and you forget everything
