Take me back to my southern ways Where I can be myself and live another day Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face 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

She’s a dirty little thing, crazy as hell She’s a lipstick stain on a burned cigarette Like an old blues song stuck in my head Mississippi mud and I’m sinking in She’s my rock-n’-roll queen, sweet southern belle She’s got Mississippi Blood runnin’

I just gotta tell you, baby Tonight looks good on you Somethin' about that southern sky Sitting back behind that moon It goes perfect with your eyes Girl, tonight looks good on you It's something about the way you're smiling Making the stars fall right

I'm gonna make you mine You're hallelujah, Sunday morning All I've ever needed, wanted Underneath this pale moon sky Yeah, I'm gonna make you mine You were made to shine under Southern stars Pure as the mountain rain You're the love songs pouring out of

Down the Seven Bridges Road There are stars In the Southern sky Southward as you go There is moonlight And moss in the trees Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child And I have loved you in a tame way

And I can hear the Delta callin' From the light of a distant star When Henry plays his steel guitar I can see my future and I can feel my past Remember if you can When cotton was picked by hand Down in Dixy under southern sky Working from sun to sun

Cold black water She's southern comfort She's sweet magnolia sugarcane Yeah she's every jet trail sky There's wild horses in her eyes And her heart's a load you'd love to try and take She could've been born and raised in a Kentucky bluegrass town East

Move like you do Like you love to Legs and your hips Live old Moonlyn When that song hits Damn, you turnin' loose Stars of the southern sky Buzz of the fire and ice M-O-V-E, I love it yeah, I love it when you get that deed

Down the Seven Bridges Road. There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go. There is moonlight and moss in the trees Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child, And I have loved you in a tame way, And I have loved you wild.
