Way back in New York City
Was a boy looking for a pretty
Girl to walk through this world with him
Little did he know it would be so hard
searching high and low in every bar
And looking through this world for her
To find a girl who knows how to dance barefoot in the sand
And kiss you in the darkness so you know she understands
Who can shake it off to a Taylor song and then put your coletrane on
Who doesn't care about the latest style
because she always wears her smile
But he met enough of them high-heeled
Girls shopping around to find the best deal
To know he had to get out of this town
Maybe if he'd go out to the country
He'd find her sitting there beneath an oak tree
Counting flower petals just for him
To find a girl who knows how to dance barefoot in the sand
And kiss you in the darkness so you know she understands
Who can shake it off to a Taylor song and then put your coletrane on
Who doesn't care about the latest style
because she always wears her smile
late July and right out of the clear blue
She came to say goodbye but that's when he knew
Goodbye's just the time to say hello
He found a girl who knows how to dance barefoot in the sand
And kiss him in the darkness so he knows she understands
Who can shake it off to a Taylor song and then put some coletrane on
And doesn't care about the latest style
Because she always wears her smile
