Here Comes My Girl (Alternate Version, 1979)

You know, sometimes I don't know why

But this old town just seems so hopeless

I ain't really sure but it seems I remember the good times

Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me

I can somehow rise above it

Yeah, man, when I got that little girl standin' right by my side

You know, I can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right

She is all I need tonight

Every now and then I get down to the end of a day

I have to stop, ask myself why I've done it

It just seems so useless to have to work so hard

And nothin' ever really seem to come from it

And then she looks me in the eye

And says, "We're gonna last forever"

And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it

No, 'cause it just feels so good, and so free, and so right

I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right

She is all I need tonight

Watch her walk

Yeah, every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more

I find myself havin' to reach out and grab a hold of somethin'

Yeah, I just catch myself wonderin', waitin' and worryin'

About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'

And then she looks me in the eye

Says, "We're gonna last forever"

Man, you know I can't begin to doubt it

No, 'cause it just feels so good, and so free, and so right

I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right

She is all I need tonight

That's right

That's right

Oh

That was real good
