Here Comes My Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You know sometimes, I don't know why

But this old town seems so hopeless

Yeah, 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 standin' 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 down to the end of the day

And I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it

It just seems so useless to have to work so hard

And nothin' ever really seems to come from it

But then she looks me in the eye and says,

"We're gonna last forever."

And man, 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 goin' 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.)

Every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more

I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something

Yeah, I just catch myself waiting, wondering, worrying

About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'

But then she looks me in the eye and says

"We're gonna last forever."

And man, 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' 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
