Lyrics

Got a girl from the south side, got braids in her (Dm)hair.

(Bb)First time I seen her (F)walk by, (C)man, I ’bout fell off (F)of my chair.

Had to get her (F)num ber.

It took me like (Dm)six weeks.

Now (Bb)me and her go (F)way back, like Cad il (F)lac seats.

Bod y like a (F)back road, (C)driv in’ with my (Dm)eyes closed.

I (Bb)know ev ’ry (F)curve like the (C)back of my (F)hand.

(CN.C.)Do in’ fif teen in a (F)thir ty, (C)I ain’t in no (Dm)hur ry.

I’m (Bb)gon’ take it (F)slow just as (C)fast as I (F)can.

The way she fit in them (F)blue jeans, she don’t need no (Dm)belt.

(Bb)But I can turn ’em (F)in side out, don’t need (F)no help.

Got hips like (F)hon ey,

so thick and so (Dm)sweet.

(Bb)There ain’t no (F)curves like hers on them down (F)town streets.

Bod y like a (F)back road, (C)driv in’ with my (Dm)eyes closed.

I (Bb)know ev ’ry (F)curve like the (C)back of my (F)hand.

(CN.C.)Do in’ fif teen in a (F)thir ty, (C)I ain’t in no (Dm)hur ry.

I’m (Bb)gon’ take it (F)slow just as (C)fast as I (F)can.

We’re out here in the (F)boon docks

with my lips (F)on hers.

On the high way to heav en, head ed south of her (Dm)smile.

(Bb)Get there when we (F)get there,

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with the key of B-flat, which only uses two flats but often intimidates newer players — you'll get comfortable with it fast here because the tempo is a relaxed 100 BPM and the four chords (Bb, C, Dm, F) sit nicely under your fingers.

Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, so focus on landing each root note cleanly and keeping it steady — that consistent pulse is what gives the song its laid-back, cruising feel.

The trickiest transition is moving between Bb and C, since they're right next to each other and it's easy to rush; practice that two-chord shift slowly, hands separate, until it feels automatic.

Once your left hand is locked in, layer in the right hand melody, which has a playful, slightly syncopated bounce — tap the rhythm on your leg before you play it on keys.

Loop the first four-bar phrase at around 70 BPM before bringing it up to speed.

This is the kind of song that'll make your I–II–iii–V movement feel effortless, and that confidence carries straight into dozens of other country and pop tunes.
