| I lived in California; |
| I was working in Manhattan
|
| My life was very busy, yeah, but nothing ever happened
|
| I wanted to make music and to show the world my soul
|
| So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll
|
| I always wanted summer; |
| I was tired of the snow
|
| I wanna find a lover where the sweet magnolias grow
|
| Yeah, there’s something in the water, on the shores of Muscle Shoals
|
| So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll
|
| I moved south where the grass is green
|
| I moved south where my friends take care of me
|
| Yeah, there’s beauty in the valley and good people in the city
|
| But I moved down south where the music moves me
|
| Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me
|
| I met up with my brothers and I made a couple more
|
| Bought a van that smelled like Armor All and we took it out on tour
|
| From Atlanta to Seattle, we sang gospel and soul
|
| And we’ll go to any city where they still play rock and roll
|
| And we go back home where the sweet magnolias grow
|
| I moved south where the grass is green
|
| I moved south where my friends take care of me
|
| Yeah, there’s beauty in the valley and good people in the city
|
| But I moved down south where the music moves me
|
| Oh-oh (ooh, oh)
|
| Oh-oh (ooh)
|
| Oh-oh
|
| I moved south where the grass is green
|
| I moved south where my friends take care of me
|
| Yeah, there’s beauty in the valley and good people in the city
|
| But I moved down south where the music moves me
|
| Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me
|
| Oh, oh, oh |
