WHYBMWL Lyrics

You came from outta nowhere
Pink flower cowboy boots
I watched your long dark hair
Light up that dim lit room
"Where have you been my whole life?"
That's what I thought to myself
Took a shot of Sazerac rye
Walked up, why not? What the hell?
Asked you if it was Heaven
'Cause angels are from there
Said it wasn't, but it had to be somewhere

It turns out it was Southern California
Population, millions minus you
I'd give anything to see you in your Honda
Breaking hearts like you couldn't help but do

I bet your hometown hates me
'Cause they always thought you'd stay
Drives your ex-boyfriend crazy
'Cause you're the one that got away
Yeah, girl, I've always wondered
Since the day I said, "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, baby, now I know
Yeah, baby, now I know

You said I had to see it all
I said, "That's alright with me"
We loaded up and drove off
Didn't stop till we saw the beach
I spent the next seven days
Seeing you relive seventeen
Running 'round the place that made the
Girl of my dreams and

Turns out it was Southern California
Population, millions minus you
I'd give anything to see you in your Honda
Breaking hearts like you couldn't help but do

I bet your hometown hates me
'Cause they always thought you'd stay
Drives your ex-boyfriend crazy
'Cause you're the one that got away
Yeah, girl, I've always wondered
Since the day I said, "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, baby, now I know
Baby, now I know

Just a Mississippi boy
Chasing Mississippi girls
Never thought God had one waiting me on the other side of my world
The other side of my world

Yeah, girl, I've always wondered
Since the day I said, "Hello"
Where you been my whole life
Well, now I know
