South

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 something 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...
