Southern Comfort
Shooter Jennings · Best Of Shooter Jenningsr [2009]
I came to Cali on a highway from Nashville
it's all a gamble for the fortune & fame
My education came from reading the road signs
Just another fool who got lost in the game
And I'm goin' back again
Cuz it's blowin' in the wind
It's carryin' me home
Chorus:
Oh southern comfort
Don't leave me alone
Oh southern comfort
Keeps callin' me home
Well all these actors
Man they're livin' in castles
And with the earthquakes
They'll all sink in the sea
Who makes a living off of heartbreaks & hassle
And scientologists make no sense to me
So I'm goin' back again
Cuz it's blowin' like the wind
It's carryin' me home
Chorus 5x
