Randy Houser - Somewhere South Of Memphis Lyrics
Well, I need a sip of muddy waterFrom my daddy's wishin' wellScattered his ashes on the deltaFrom here on I'll be drinkin' by myselfWhere pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoesMeet steel guitars and new grass bluesThe music there, it ain't turned into businessTonight I'll be somewhere south of MemphisWhere the cotton grows from the Mississippi mudAnd the blues runs deep in your bloodI love this land with God as my witnessI'll live and die somewhere south of MemphisWell, I've seen my share of big ol' citiesBut I couldn't wait to get back homeWell, they'll play you a, a front porch song for freeThat reminds you that they ain't been free for longWhere them juke joints jump on a Friday nightAnd you don't need a gun to settle no fightAnd come Sunday mornin', hell, you'll be beggin' for forgivenessThat's just life somewhere south of MemphisWhere the cotton grows from the Mississippi mudAnd the blues runs deep in your bloodI love this land with God as my witnessI'll live and die somewhere south of MemphisYeah, where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mudAnd the blues runs deep in your bloodWell, I love this land with God as my witnessWell, I'll live and dieI'll said I'll, I'll live and die somewhere south of MemphisThat's just life
