Record man said, "Son, let me hear what you got
Word on the street is that you're pretty hot
Well, you Georgia boy's been makin' noise, I swear
Must be somethin' in the water down there"

Picked up my guitar and I started to strum
This little number 'bout where I come from
Way down the dirt road in the July air
You can bet there's somethin' in the water down there

Yeah, she's five foot somethin', legs all long and tanned
Sittin' on that river bank with the toes in the sand
Them Southern girls, I'll tell you, nothin' compares
Yeah, there's somethin' in the water down there
Yeah, yeah

There's a rock about thirty feet high
Jump off the top, feel like you can fly
Well, that river's cold, man, but you won't care
'Cause there's somethin' in the water down there

Yeah, she's five foot somethin', legs all long and tanned
Sittin' on that river bank with the toes in the sand
Them Southern girls, I'll tell you, nothin' compares
Yeah, there's somethin' in the water down there

If you wanna slow down
If you wanna go down
If you wanna jump in
Let me get an "amen"

Well, she's five foot somethin', legs all long and tanned
Sittin' on that river bank with the toes in the sand
Them Southern girls, I'll tell you, nothin' compares
Yeah, there's somethin' in the water down there

Yeah, she's five foot somethin', legs all long and tanned
Sittin' on that river bank with the toes in the sand
Them Southern girls, I'll tell you, nothin' compares
Yeah, there's somethin' in the water down there
Yeah, yeah
