Lyrics
Southern Girls
© 2007 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)
She's an Alabama girl
In a panorama world
From Birmingham she moved to Bel Air
Rides her shiny Coupe de Ville up the Hollywood Hills
Pacific wind blows her hair
My little Georgia Peach - lives on Malibu Beach
Parks her yellow Eldorado on the sand
She got a Coppertone tan and a Marlboro man
She found her paperback promise land
Chorus
Baby - where you gonna park that Cadillac?
When you come to California -
Don't you say your Papa never warned you - Southern Girl
LA - just a big old traffic jam / bam / bam /bam
Where you gonna park that Cadillac?
Southern girl - you come so far
Baby - you looking like a movie star
But where you gonna park that car
Hey / hey / hey - hey
Sugar Daddy bought her Caddy
When she turned sweet sixteen - my pretty little Mississippi Queen
She said bye-bye to Biloxi - this baby's got to run
Hello Pasadena - here I come
Pascagoula Lula is living out here
Susanna from Savannah settled down in Santa Ana
Alice out from Dallas - she bought herself a palace -
Just off Rodeo Drive
Pensacola Lola likes Pacific Palisades
A heap lot better than them spooky Everglades
Later - alligator - she got places to go
In their Cadillacs - them Southern girls - them Southern girls go / go / go / go / go
To California
Chorus
Where you gonna park that Cadillac?
When you get to California -
Don't you say your Papa never warned you - Southern Girl
LA - just a big old traffic jam / bam / bam /bam!
ï?¦
Where you gonna park that Cadillac?
Southern girl - you come so far
Baby - you looking like a movie star
But where you gonna park - where you gonna park that car
Hey / hey / hey / hey - hey / hey
ï?¦
Where you gonna park that Cadillac?
When you come to California -
Don't you say your Papa never warned you - Southern Girl
ï?¦
LA - just a big old traffic jam / bam / bam / bam
LA - just a big old traffic jam / no thank you ma'am
LA - just a big old traffic jam / bam / bam / bam
LA - just a big old traffic jam / come home to Papa
LA - just a big old traffic jam
