[Lyrics] She's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring One look in her eyes and you forget everything You had ready to say And I saw her today, yeah A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown Said she'd never been in trouble, even in the town A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind And should I hang around, acting like her brother In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other And why? If I wait I'll just die, yeah A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown Said she'd never been in trouble, even in the town A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind She's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring One look in her eyes and you forget everything ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
