Southern Ways |
| When I was fifteen I dreamed of leaving my home |
| I had to see the world |
| And live like a rolling stone |
| I heard California was paved in gold |
| So I hopped on that train |
| It didn’t come easy |
| But I keep thinkin' bout |
| The green grass and missing my home |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where I can be myself and live another day |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where the tall pines blow and the |
| southern winds kiss my face |
| Oh southern grace |
| Me and my boys started a band |
| Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land |
| Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar |
| To sing about Sweet 'Bama |
| We were just simple men |
| The music is forever |
| and the songs will never ever end |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where I can be myself and live another day |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where the tall pines blow and the |
| southern winds kiss my face |
| Oh take me back! |
| I sit here thinkin' about those days |
| I wouldn’t change a thing about my life today |
| ain’t it funny how time sure flies |
| 'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed WAS YOU |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where I can be myself and live another day |
| Take me back to my southern ways |
| Where the tall pines blow and |
| the St. John’s flows, and |
| only God — he knows, and those southern winds kiss my face |
