A letra:
You
know sometimes, I don't know why
But this old town just seems so
hopeless
I ain't really sure but it seems
I remember the good
times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts
her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it
Yeah, man when I
got that little girl
Standing right by my side
You know, I can
tell the whole wide world
To shove it, hey
Here comes my girl
Here comes my
girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
Every now and then I get down to the
end of the day
I'll just stop, ask myself
Why I've done it?
It
just seems so useless to have to work so hard
And nothing ever
really seem to come from it
And then she looks me in the eye and
says
"We're gonna last forever and ever"
And you know
I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good and so
free and so right
I know we ain't never going to change our minds
about it, hey
Here comes my girl
Here comes my
girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
Watch her walk
Yeah every time, it seems like there
ain't nothing left no more
I find myself having to reach out and
grab hold of something
Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, and
waiting, and worrying
About some silly little thing that don't add
up to nothing
And then she looks me in the eye, and
says
"We're gonna last forever and ever"
And you know
I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good and so
free and so right
I know we ain't never gonna change our minds
about it, hey
Here comes my girl
Here comes my
girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
That's right
That's right
