There's a gal that I knew from high school,
She fell in love with a friend of mine.
They moved down to Wewahitchka,
And we knew it was a matter of time
Cause she could fill up Okechobee
With the tears she shed for him.
When the dykes have reached their limit,
Oh the town, it'll move again.
So come on, come on, come on, It'll be alright.
Cause everyone has their first fight.
I'm going back to Chipley, leave me don't you dare.
You wouldn't leave me alone if you cared.
So she cries out to her Mama,
And she cries out the Lord.
She says "Please, oh please redeem me,
For the things I've said before."
Cause all the girls just want the same thing,
Peace of mind and a diamond ring.
All the boys are fine with searching
For a girl who don't want these.
Come on, come on, come on, It'll be alright.
Cause everyone has their first fight.
I'm going back to Chipley, leave me don't you dare.
You wouldn't leave me alone if you cared.
