Lyrics

AND NOW FROM BEAUTIFUL PALM SPRINGS IT'S TIME FOR THE...

SHE WAS A SOUTHSIDE SALLY
NO NEED TO PRETEND

AND WE WE'RE DRINKIN WINE WITH
A FRIEND OF A FRIEND

HANG?N ON THE RIDGE
NEAR THE END OF THE BRIDGE

AND WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN
WE WATCHED THE FIRE DANCE AROUND

(AND THE GIRLS ALL WAVED THEIR ARMS AND SWAYED JUST RIGHT)

IT WAS A QUARTER TO TEN
I WAS FEELIN THE BENDS

I THOUGHT I?D TAKE A RIDE
WITH MY FRIEND IN MY MIND
SHE WON?T LIE TO YOU BABY

WHEN I TURNED AROUND
I THOUGHT I HEARD A SOUND

PULLED OUT MY BLADE
SAY WHAT YOU GOTTA SAY

BUT THERE WAS THE MAN STANDIN THERE
HE SAID

?YOU BETTER COME WITH ME?
?YOU CAN ENTER A PLEA?
?MAKE YOUR CALL NOW?
?UP AGAINST THE WALL?

(AND THE BOYS ALL KNOW WHAT WE?RE TALKIN? BOUT)

SHE WAS A SOUTH SIDE SALLY
NO NEED TO PRETEND

AND WE WERE DRINKIN WINE WITH
A FRIEND OF A FRIEND

WE WERE THROWIN DOWN
MINDIN OUR OWN
TILL YOU CAME ALONG

HE SAID YOU CAN GO
CAUSE THE PRINTS DON?T MATCH

SO I PACK UP MY BAG
SALUTED THE FLAG
WALKIN DOWN THE LINE
WITH THE RIGHT TO BURN MY TIME

(AND GIRLS ALL WAVED THEIR ARMS AND SWAYED JUST RIGHT)

SO I PACK UP MY BAG
SALUTED THE FLAG
WALKIN DOWN THE LINE
WITH THE RIGHT TO BURN MY TIME

(AND GIRLS ALL WAVED THEIR ARMS AND SWAYED JUST RIGHT)
