I know exactly what it's like
I know specifically how you feel
I know you just need an out
I know you, the girl who went South

You left your home and your people
You left your winter coats and your boots
You left all the things that were for cold
I know you, the girl who went South

We were best friends every day
We were best friends, but you didn't stay
We were best friends and now I'm alone
I know you, the girl who went South

She was a pretty thing, had a nice smile
She was a dancer and a companion
She was my partner in crime
I know you, the girl who went South

Girl you better come back
Girl don't forget your home
Girl bring your heart so I won't be alone
I know you, the girl who went South

They were best friends never far away
They were children every single day
(Now) They make phone calls all the time
I know you, the girl who went South

Now my smiles broken
Now I think I'm lost
Now I miss you and want you back
I know you, the girl who went South

One day I'll see you
One day you will come home
One day I'll hug you and break every bone
I know you, the girl who went South
