Well, she sits there in the porch swing
On a hot afternoon in Georgia
Surveys everything on Daddys lap
And the gentlemen callers come by
To tell her that shes gorgeous
One by one they ask her for her hand
But her mind has slipped away
More than a hundred years
No-one in this century
Can get to her from here
Shes gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if shed only let me in
But shes gone with the wind
Well, she dreams of white plantations
With ballrooms just for dancing
From a time when romance made girls hearts beat fast
Shes looking down that dirt road
For a handsome rebel soldier
Home from war to her arms, safe at last
I volunteer my love
To save her from herself
But if she cant have terror
She dont want nobodys help
Shes gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if shed only let me in
But shes gone with the wind, shes gone with the wind
It all becomes so real
She feels just like that Southern belle
She swears that she was there
The night Atlanta burned like hell
Shes gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if shed only let me in
But shes gone with the wind, shes gone with the wind
Shes gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if shed only let me in
But shes gone with the wind, shes gone with the wind
