[Intro]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
She's got a family in Carolina (Oh, yeah)
So far away, but she says I remind her of home (Oh, yeah)
Feelin', oh, so far from home (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
She never saw herself as a West Coaster (Oh, yeah)
Moved all the way 'cause her grandma told her (Oh, yeah)
"Townes, better swim before you drown" (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
She's a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She's such a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

She feels so good (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
She's got a book for every situation (Situation; Oh, yeah)
Gets into parties without invitations (Oh, yeah)
How could you ever turn her down? (Down, down, down, down; Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
There's not a drink that I think could sink her (Oh, yeah)
How would I tell her that she's all I think about? (Oh, yeah)
Well, I guess she just found out (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

She's a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She's such a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She's a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She feels so good (Oh, yeah)
She feels so good (Oh, yeah)
[Bridge]
I met her once and wrote a song about her (Oh, yeah)
I wanna scream, yeah, I wanna shout it out (Oh, yeah)
And I hope she hears me now (Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
[Chorus]
She's a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She's such a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She's a good girl (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Feels so good, she feels so good (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
She feels so good (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
