Southern Ways

[Verse 1]

When I was 15 I dreamed of leaving my home

I had to see the world

And live like a rolling stone

I heard California was paved in gold

So I hopped on that train

It didn't come easy

But I keep thinking bout

The green grass and missing my home

[Chorus]

Take me back to my southern ways

Where I can be myself and live another day

Take me back to my southern ways

Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face

[Verse 2]

Oh southern grace

Me and my boys started a band

Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land

Played every honky tonk and this ol bar

To sing about Sweet 'Bama

We were just simple men

The music is forever

And the songs will never ever end

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Oh take me back!

I sit here thinking about those days

I wouldn't change a thing about my life today

Ain't it funny how time sure flies

Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed

WAS YOU

[Chorus]
