Miss Ferguson lyrics

In a town where you can sum up every girl with just one sentence
Give or take the subject or the verb
She shows up like the devil said penance
Won t nothin ever be clear no more
She got hired on down at the Last Chance Diner
She works all the same shifts as me
I ve never been one for too much conversation
But now i choose my words so carefully
Because the angle of her cheek is the math of persuasion
First time you saw the ocean she s got tucked behind her knee
She is swallowing lightning she is spittin thunder
Waftin California reekin Tennessee
She is waftin California and reekin Tennessee
I wanna tell her how i feel
But each time that i start
My tongue wraps like a tether ball
Six times around my heart (and i say)
Hey Miss Ferguson
It s Cory from work callin to say
Hey Miss Ferguson
I was wonderin what you were doing
A little later on today
Now i m curious to see just where them 8 pounds will end up
I wanna be around to watch the Southern kick in
Ain t got no purple heart, no blue ribbon
Blow out them candles and i ll show you where i ve been
Now she comes around at midnight like a Sunday afternoon
With a purpose and a manner like a needle and a spoon
A bad thing waitin round to happen like a lake of gasoline
The way that woman does me is like nothing i ve ever seen
Don t think i ll ever wake up on the wrong side of her bed
She brings the sun, she brings the shine
These days every time i try and start to sing some sad song
I open up my mouth and the only word that i can find is just
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la ...
Hey there Miss Ferguson, it s me
