Al Anderson - It Came From The South Lyrics
Black or white, blues or hillbillyIt's got a rockin' rhythm knockin' me sillyEvery time I hear it, I'm as good as goneUp or down, fast or real slowThat's all ya hear on my radioI never get tired I can listen to it all night long(CHORUS):It scared a lot of people when it first hit townThey didn't understand it, they were puttin' it downBut it's lasted up until today and we're still rockin' aroundAnd when they look back tryin' to figure it outWhere it came from, and what it's all aboutIt didn't come from outer space, it came from the southIt came from real hard work, sweat from the browFrom poor people just pushin' a plowThey made up a rhythm tryin' to pass the timeIt came from the truth, it came from the heartIt came from an old flattop guitarOn a Saturday night, underneath the 'ol moonshine(CHORUS) 2xIt didn't come from outer space, it came from the south
