Roger Miller - South Lyrics
Hot afternoon, sometime in juneSittin on the front porch waitin on the moonTalkin to my neighbor next door aint never ever very much funGo get my car, and my guitar, ride through town with the top downMaybe I could buy me some beer, run out and look at the farmsAnd they call it the south, its the land of the freeIt lost the only war it ever fought in historyBut I love the south, its the land of the freeIts the land of hush your mouth, n joe southAnd thats home to meShe was born in 52, she finished in a mississippi schoolAnd something about her that turns you onShes different, like another worldAnd you can tell shes not a new york girlAnd something about her kiss that takes you homeBut she was born in the south, memphis, tennesseeShe was rich in looks from a poor memphis familyBut she will stay in the south, its the land of the freeIts the land of hush your mouth, n joe southAnd thats home to meCalifornia, I love you, your hills are high and your oceans blueIn la theres always something to do, and youre never aloneBut I like fall,and I like spring, I love snow and I love rainAnd theres something about la I cant call homeI guess Ill stay in the south, its the land of the freeIt lost the only war it ever fought in historyBut I love the south, its the land of the freeIts the land of hush your mouth, n joe southAnd thats home to me...
