Minnesota Girl
Green Day · Other Songs - Green Day
Walkin' shooting stars across the earth
Counting all the bites from the mosquitoes
There goes my Minnesota girl
Lazy days
Gone without notice
In a daze... with faraway eyes
Driving to a closed spot Wednesday afternoon
There goes my Minnesota girl
In a daze
Go without notice
Lazy days....with faraway eyes
Countin' from the pieces we have been through
Here comes my Minnesota girl
There goes my Minnesota girl
