Lyrics for Song: Southern Rains
Lyrics for Album: Hitside! 1970-1979 [Raven] [2006]
Sometimes my soul gets weary,and my mind begins to wander
and like that ol train, the hummingbird, it goes to Alabam
they say home is where the heart is, and mine is down in dixie
when you go down to dixie, youre headin for higher ground
Southern rains, blowing from the coast of missisippi
southern rains, I feel better when those southern waters hit me
I cant dip in the jordan seven times to ease the pain
but I can pray for help and hope from southern rains
Southern rains, like the sunshine its a blessin sent from heaven
southern rains, they can wash away your cares if you let em
you may not believe my story, and you may say Im insane
but theyre the closest thing to home those southern rains
Homesick is a feeling that a body cant get over
theres no such thing as healing, and it wont go away with time
when we're young we want to get away, when we're old we want to go back
and we spend our lives replacing all the things we leave behind
Southern rains, blowing from the coast of missisippi
southern rains, I feel better when those southern waters hit me
I cant dip in the jordan seven times to ease the pain
but I can pray for help and hope from suthern rains
Southern rains, like the sunshine its a blessin sent from heaven
southern rains, they can wash away your cares if you let em
you may not believe my story, and you may say Im insane
but theyre the closest thing to home those southern rains
Southern rains, blowing from the coast of missisippi
southern rains, I feel better when those southern waters hit me
I cant dip in the jordan seven times to ease the pain
but I can pray for help and hope from suthern rains
