Down South
Sun setting down on flat fertile ground
A breeze in the trees, familiar sound and I'm home
The river runs deep inside of me
There's a pride in the eyes of the people you meet back home
Magnolia blossoms and summer tan lines
There's cold beer waiting out on the county line
It ain't where I'm from but sure where I's found
Dirt road daydreaming back down south
And life it'll take you wherever it please
But you know home will always be down south
Friday night lights shining so bright
That ain't Coke in my cup making me feel alright back home
Pretty girls dancing down at the blues bar
There's a levee to lean on when life gets too hard back home
Sunday supper, barefoot and fine
Momma's fried chicken, muscadine wine
It ain't where I'm from but sure where I's found
Dirt road daydreaming back down south
And life it'll take you wherever it please
But you know home will always be down south
Learn to love Jesus and say bless your heart
What turns to take to avoid the roadblocks back home
The Natchez it traces its way through the dark
The warm air cools and the lightning bugs spark and I'm home
Around here you can see he stars at night
Town lights glowing on horizon lines and I
I'm going home
It ain't where I'm from but sure where I's found
Dirt road daydreaming back down south
And life it'll take you wherever it please
But you know home will always be down south
