Local Girls

Oh, I was kicked back in a rented cabana

Easin' my mind with some old Carlos Santana

Nibblin' on a banana moon pie

When I swore I saw an angel from heaven floatin' by

Then I thought, no, no way she must be from around here

She got one of those tans you just know she wears all year

Swayin', sashayin', flip-floppin' along

Like wherever she may be is right where she belongs

And I thought, ooh, I love the local girls

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love the local girls

Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local girls

I said, "Madam, if you have nowhere to go

Can I interest you in an ice-cold pacifico??

And she said, "As luck would have it I got nothin' but time?

She reached in her back-pack, said, "Down here you'll find

That a lady don't leave home without a couple of limes?

An' I said, "Ooh, I love the local girls

Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I love the local girls?

Later on she took me to this bar built out of cinder blocks

One of those joints with a notice to shell park in line

While we were dancin', she whispered, "I like you a lot?

An' I said, "My, my, my, go on, say that one more time?, hey

Five years later, here I am intermittent

With a couple a-toaheads as that big old orange sun is settin'

I can't believe how good it's still gettin'

As I watch my daughters splashin' in the water

And I said, "Oh, I love the local girls

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love the local girls

(Here she come)

Lo, lo, local

(Hey)

Lo, lo, local

(Here she come)

Lo, lo, local girls?

Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local

I love the local girls

Lo, lo, local, lo, lo, local

I love the local girls

I love the local girls

I love the local girls
