Miss Ferguson Lyrics - Singles - Cory Branan

In a town where you can sum up every girl with just one sentence 

Give or take the subject or the verb 

She shows up like the devil said penance 

Won't nothin' ever be clear no more 

She got hired on down at the last chance diner 

She works all the same shifts as me 

I've never been one for too much conversation 

But now I choose my words so carefully 

'Cause the angle of her cheek is the math of persuasion 

First time you saw the ocean, she's got tucked behind her knee 

She is swallowing lightning and she is spittin' thunder 

Waftin' California, reekin' Tennessee 

She is waftin' California and reekin' Tennessee 

Now I wanna tell her how I feel 

But each time that I start 

My tongue wraps like a tether ball 

Six times around my heart and I say 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

It's Cory from work callin' to say 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

I was wonderin' what you were doing, a little later on today 

Just wonderin' what you were doing, a little later on today 

Now I'm curious to see just where them 8 pounds will end up 

I wanna be around to watch the southern kick in 

Ain't got no purple heart, no blue ribbon 

Blow out them candles now I'll show you where i've been 

Now she comes around at midnight like a Sunday afternoon 

With a purpose and a manner like a needle and a spoon 

A bad thing waitin' 'round to happen like a lake of gasoline 

The way that woman does me is like nothing, I've ever seen 

Now I wanna tell her how I feel 

But each time that I start 

My tongue wraps like a tether ball 

Six times around my heart and I say 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

It's Cory from work, callin' to say 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

I was wonderin' what she was doing, a little later on today 

Just wonderin' what she was doing, a little later on today 

Don't think I'll ever wake up on the wrong side of her bed 

She brings the sun, she brings the shine 

These days every time I try and start to sing some sad song 

I open up my mouth and the only word that I can find is just 

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

It's Cory from work, callin' to say 

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Ferguson 

I was wonderin' what she was doing, a little later on today 

Just wonderin' what she was doing, a little later on today 

I ain't even thinkin' about the rest of the day 

I was wonderin' what she was doing, a little later on today 

I said hey, hey, Miss Ferguson, it's me
