lyrics

Midland girl’s gone to the south
She’s painted up her eyes and her mouth

Oh, there she goes again
She’s drinking in cool bars with cool new friends

Midland girl’s gone to the south
She’s painted up her eyes and her mouth

Oh look, she trips again – my little comedienne
Midland girl’s gone to the south

Doors started to close, on the things she wanted most
And all the people said she froze. Who knows?
And sometimes, she thinks of way back when
When she was dancing in cool bars with cool new friends

Midland Girl’s gone to the south
'Cos Midland Girls go to the south.

Bahian drumming melds with West Indian steel pan, an old drum machine, and a toy melodica. ... more
