about

When I listen to this song now, it reminds me of my daughter Jillian (who sings backgrounds on it) and my young friend Elena Rogers (who sings on a different track on the album). Like the young woman in the song, they are charismatic, free-spirited, and somewhat mysterious.

lyrics

VERSE 1
She comes into town… she’s a pure delight and a source of chatter
She wanders around… and she has a smile for the ones around her
She lives in a dream… she’ll just close her eyes and go there
To blow off some steam… or to say a prayer, she’s a girl from somewhere

VERSE 2
She’ll walk through the park… just to feel the sun and enjoy the flowers
Sometimes on a lark… she will climb a tree and just stay for hours
Her head’s in the clouds… her face is alight with wonder
She draws in the crowds…… but she is unaware, she’s a girl from somewhere

BRIDGE 1
She doesn’t see… the high degree
Of joy she brings…when she comes here to do her thing

VERSE 3
She’s charming and cool… her expression’s bright and her eyes are winking
She’s nobody’s fool… and she won’t reveal what she’s really thinking
She comes and she goes… like a wisp of fog or a bolt of lightning
But nobody knows… when she’ll next be there, she’s a girl from somewhere

BRIDGE 2
Maybe she’ll find… she leaves behind
An empty space… in our hearts that we can’t erase

VERSE 4
When she goes away… she is on the minds of the congregation
We hope she will stay… but she doesn’t linger in one location
She glows from within… can’t help but attract attention
She rides on the wind… she’s not ours to share, she’s a girl from somewhere

CODA
Na-na-na-na-na... na-na-na-na-na

Mike Browning Southport, North Carolina

Imagine working most of your adult life as nothing more
than a cog in the corporate machine. Then imagine finding
yourself in a community college classroom, led by one of
your musical heroes. That happened to me, after I ran into
Jamie Hoover of the Spongetones at a Dairy Queen. His generosity in sharing his vast knowledge of studio techniques with me has led me to releasing my very first EP. ... more
