Lyrics

Southern Heart

[Verse 1]

Family comes from Kentucky

And there's bourbon in the blood

They left the country for the city in 1951

Me, I'm in between two worlds

Saw you on TV last night

[Verse 2]

Life looks easy on the TV

Where you ride into some blue evening

I fill my evenings with images of

Hazy hereafter

I don't even know your name

It's your southern heart I'm after

It's your southern heart I'm after

[Outro]

Tell me again how you love all the men you were after

Tell me again how you love all the men you were after

Tell me again how you love all the men you were after
