[Intro]
Silent screams beneath the southern sky
Whispered truths she can't deny
Longing for a voice from the past
A friendship that was built to last
[Verse 1]
She's sitting on the porch, moon is hanging low
Memory slipping through the cracks, she’s got nowhere to go
Heart heavy with secrets, shadows in her mind
Wishing she could turn back time
[Pre-Chorus]
The words behind her lips want to break free
But she's afraid of what they might be
Fighting tears and fears, feeling so alone
All she wants is to pick up the phone
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a southern woman, screaming in her soul
Yearning for her older friend, to make her whole
Knows she can't do this on her own, she’s got to find a way
To reach the one who can help her today
[Verse 2]
Dusty roads and memories still linger near
Letters she never sent, drowning in her tears
She’s haunted by the past, caught in a silent plea
Hoping her friend will hear her softly
[Pre-Chorus]
The words behind her lips want to break free
But she's afraid of what they might be
Fighting tears and fears, feeling so alone
All she wants is to pick up the phone
[Chorus]
Oh, she's just a southern woman, screaming in her soul
Yearning for her older friend, to make her whole
Knows she can't do this on her own, she’s got to find a way
To reach the one who can help her today
[Bridge]
Maybe the stars will guide her through the night
A hidden message just out of sight
Old friends have a way of mending scars
Connecting hearts, no matter where they are
[Outro]
So she prays on the wind, hopes it finds its way
Her voice a whisper, come what may
Just needing that old friend, to hear her cry
And help her find her peace tonight
