roger millerger miller - south lyrics
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 somethingdid you ever feel unwanted
kicked around so much you’re taunted
heart cries out with so much pain
well that’s the way l feel
l loved someone and loved her dearly
spoke sweet words, she didn’t hear me,
left me here heart-sick and lonely
that’s the way l feel
to cry would do no good
l used to think it would
but the more l cried
the more l believed here’s what l’ll do
let this feeling have it’s day
maybe it will go away
maybe l will find another
that’s the way l feel
l can’t let heartache overcome me
just because of the way she done me
l’ll forget l ever loved her, that’s the way l feel
to cry would do no good
l used to think it would
but the more l cried
the more l believed here’s what l’ll do
let this feeling have it’s day
maybe it will go away
maybe l will find another
that’s the way l feel
l can’t let heartache overcome me
bust because of the way she done me
l’ll forget l ever loved her, that’s the way l feel
yes l’ll forget l ever loved her, that’s the way l feel
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…
