For the gentle kiss of that untouched rose,
The tragic wanderer continually roams,
Heart in his suitcase, gun at his side,
Searching this world, wondering where she might hide,
He met her in the starlight, dress blowing in the breeze,
Drinking Bacardi, being talked to by sleaze,
Such a pretty bar-prop he thought, sitting in his stool,
Unaware that this bar-prop would soon make him a fool,
Ever since that night, when she smiled with lacquered lips,
He longed to hold her, feel her body swell, beneath his fingertips,
And still he goes on searching, though its been a year or more,
Hes looked under every stone and behind every door,
The thought that keeps him going is pure, simple, sweet,
The thought of holding her as their bodies meet,
Oh what a beauty, his girl from the south,
Sapphire eyes, and red-lipsticked mouth,
With hair thats as scarlet as the blood that he bleeds,
His girl from the south is all that he needs,
And still our cowboy searches, though its been ten years or more,
And hes certain that this little town, hes been to, sometime before,
But all these little places, they blend, and look the same,
And for the loss of his pretty girl, he has only himself to blame,
The music that was playing, was the dirty pretty blues,
And he was certain that this darling girl was just looking for someone to use,
But she was as honest as the day was long,
And with one look into her eyes, he knew that he was wrong,
So, silently he searches, though twenty years have gone,
Knowing that his southern girl comes second to none.
