leaving the place i love,
to me feels kind of rough what will i see
lots of funny faces,
in all kind of places lucky me
when we hit the road,
it's like the first boat of vikings when
leaving for the new world,
seeing things so unheard of by then
the great wide open is something nice to head for
but when the sun's about to rise
a certain mood's taking hold of me
thanks for all, this is nice, but it will never take the place of
my girl – my girl
talking ‘bout my girl – my girl
people come along,
listening to the songs we hope will work
in the chorus lines
everybody joins so loud it hurts
my ego's standing tall,
feels i could never fall no way
looking for a thrill,
drink on the booker's bill, it's time to play
the great wide open is something nice to head for
but when the sun's about to rise
a certain mood's taking hold of me
thanks for all, this is nice, but it will never take the place of
my girl – my girl
talking ‘bout my girl – my girl
there's no discovery, i've been impatiently
waiting to make when i left
cause nothing's as sweet as her smell and her weed
and the way she most loves me to d**h
my girl – my girl
talking ‘bout my girl – my girl
