SOUTHERN RAINS
|
Writer Roger Murrah
|
|
Sometimes my soul gets weary and my mind begins to wonder
|
And like that old train ¡°The Hummingbird¡± it goes to Alabam
|
They say home is where the heart is and mine is down in Dixie
|
And when you go down to Dixie you're heading for higher ground
|
(Southern rain) blowing from the coast of Mississippi
|
(Southern rain) I fell better when those southern waters hit me
|
I can't get into Jordan seven times to easy the pain
|
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain
|
(Southern rain) like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven
|
(Southern rain) they can wash away your cares if you let them
|
You may not believe my story and you may think I'm insane
|
But they're the closest thing to home those southern rains
|
Austick is a peeling that a body can't get over
|
There's no such thing as healing and it won't go away with time
|
When were young we want to get away when we're old we want to go back
|
And we spend our lives replacing all the things we leave behind
|
(Southern rain) blowing from the coast of Mississippi
|
(Southern rain) I fell better when those southern waters hit me
|
I can't get into Jordan seven times to easy the pain
|
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain
|
(Southern rain) like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven
|
(Southern rain) they can wash away your cares if you let them
|
You may not believe my story and you may think I'm insane
|
But they're the closest thing to home those southern rains
