Song for the South |
| Baby’s livin' on from hand to mouth |
| She’s roamin' all alone in the deep, dark South |
| Her eyes are tired |
| An' she’s been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long |
| Babe, I wanna send this song to you |
| I’m hopin' what I feel will ring on through |
| I’ve seen the stars |
| An' I can see 'em in a dream of where you are right now |
| Yes and time’s gonna take me back |
| (Yes and) time’s gonna take me back |
| Yes and time’s gonna take me back to you |
| Baby’s got the only love I trust |
| She’s standin' in the rainy rust an' dust |
| She’s straight with me |
| Baby’s got my wild nighttime sea laid down |
| Babe, I wanna get your hand in mine |
| Let my little song be a screamin' sign |
| You are the one |
| An' I’ll be hangin' on to the things we done. |
| .. meanwhile |
| BRIDGE |
| This city here kicks an' rumbles |
| Way on past the midnight hour |
| There ain’t nowhere to walk or run to get away |
| The world and the work’s before me |
| I’m caught in the plans I made up |
| I don’t know when, but I’ll be back to you someday |
| (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) |
| Baby’s wakin' up in the delta sun |
| She’s wakin' up to blues an' she’s on the run |
| That land is old |
| An' it’s haunted by a ghost in the chains of gold. |
| .. blood chains |
| Babe, I wanna cool you down for free |
| I wanna do for you what you done for me |
| Your eyes are tired |
| An' you’ve been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long |
| (REPEAT CHORUS) |
