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
