Southern Rains

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
