Whybmwl Video (MV)

You came from outta nowhere
Pink flower cowboy boots
I watched your long dark hair
Light up that dim lit room
"Where have you been my whole life?"
That's what I thought to myself
Took a shot of Sazerac rye
Walked up, why not? What the hell?

Yeah, girl, I've always wondered
Since the day I said, "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, baby, now I know
Baby, now I know

Just a Mississippi boy
Chasing Mississippi girls
Never thought God had one waiting me on the other side of my world
The other side of my world

Yeah, girl, I've always wondered
Since the day I said, "Hello"
Where you been my whole life
Well, now I know
