That girl´s a southern bell   Breaks hearts and she does it well   She will bring a man down   Right down to his knees   Born and raised in Tennesee   By her hard working daddy   She left the farm when   When she was just sventeen      Southern nights won´t be the same   Stars fall like drops of rain   Tears tumble right from her eyes   She´s crossing over the country line   Her new day has finally dawned   This beauty queens moving on   Country roads – so long      Started stripping in a Nashville bar   Went to Dallas and stripped some more   Ahe took it all off to make her way to the top   Breaking hearts along the way   From Talahassee to San Jose   Ent to California to try to get her big shot      Southern nights won´t be the same   Stars fall like drops of rain   The big cities out to drag her down   Chew her up and striped her out   Now shes missing now those jackson pines   Smokey mountains in the summer time   So far away from those southern nights      Rolling down the interstate   Not a moment a second to late   She´s fast and oh so mean   The trailor park beauty queen   In the distance she sees her name   Bright lights and dreams of fame   The bluegrass in Tennessee   Now that´s only a memory
