[Chorus]
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
Oh, she give me southern comfort
Oh, she give me moonshine love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
[Verse 1]
Here I am riding on a train
Just about thunderball down the line
Just can't wait any longer (Oh no)
See that little darling of mine
See that little darling of mine
[Bridge]
She's my Texas sweetheart
Part from Arkansas
And we're dancing
Across the floor
And a band is playing
People were swaying to and fro
Streamline promenade, baby
Streamline promenade
And I said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
(Streamline streamline)
(Promenade streamline)
I'm gonna take a plane
Come with me tonight" (Promenade, promenading)
Gonna put on my hot, hot pants (Streamline promenade)
And promenade
Promenade down funky Broadway till the cows come home
(Streamline, streamline)
La da da da, da da da da (Promenade, promenading)
La da da da, da da da da (Streamline promenading)
Oh, streamline promenade (Streamline streamline)
Promenade streamline
Streamline promenade, promenade, promenade
Promenade streamline (Unh)
Think I'm gonna promenade all night
[Chorus]
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
Oh, she give me southern comfort
Oh, she give me moonshine love
Deep in the heart of Texas
There beneath the stars above
[Verse 2]
Listen, here we are
Thinking 'bout time
When I resist here and now
And I just wanna lay my feet on a river bed instead
Can't wait any longer for the sign
I wanna get down some solid time in the water
[Bridge]
Watch the fish in the water
B-b-b-b-b, b-b-b-b-b-b-b
Bubbles, watch the bubbles come up in the water
Promenade streamline in the water
Streamline promenade, get funky
Promenade streamline, funky as you wanna be
La da da da, da da da da (Streamline promenading)
La da da da, da da da da (Streamline streamline)
Streamline promenade, oh baby
Well, I feel alright tonight (Promenade promenade)
Streamline promenade
Hey, hey, hey (Promenade streamline)
Yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
[Outro]
She give me southern love
Southern love
Southern love
Child, pure southern love
Pure southern love
Child, pure southern love
(Southern love)
Oh (Southern love)
Child, pure southern love
Oh baby (Southern love)
Oh baby (Southern love)
Ow, oh baby (Southern love)
Oh baby (Southern love)
Keep an eye out (Southern love)
Alright (Southern love)
Meet me at midnight (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
In my room (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
In my room (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
She's alright (Southern love)
Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
