South |
| Hot afternoon, sometime in june |
| Sittin' on the front porch waitin' on the moon |
| Talkin' to my neighbor next door ain’t never ever very much fun |
| Go get my car, and my guitar, ride through town with the top down |
| Maybe I could buy me some beer, run out and look at the farms |
| And they call it the South, it’s the land of the free |
| It lost the only war it ever fought in history |
| But I love the South, it’s the land of the free |
| It’s the land of hush your mouth, 'n Joe South |
| And that’s home to me |
| She was born in '52, she finished in a Mississippi school |
| And something about her that turns you on |
| She’s different, like another world |
| And you can tell she’s not a New York girl |
| And something about her kiss that takes you home |
| But she was born in the South, Memphis, Tennessee |
| She was rich in looks from a poor Memphis family |
| But she will stay in the South, it’s the land of the free |
| It’s the land of hush your mouth, 'n Joe South |
| And that’s home to me |
| California, I love you, your hills are high and your oceans blue |
| In LA there’s always something to do, and you’re never alone |
| But I like Fall, and I like Spring, I love snow and I love rain |
| And there’s something about LA I can’t call home |
| I guess I’ll stay in the South, it’s the land of the free |
| It lost the only war it ever fought in history |
| But I love the South, it’s the land of the free |
| It’s the land of hush your mouth, 'n Joe South |
| And that’s home to me… |
