Kelly was a blackjack dealer
|
Living on the Gulf of Mexico
|
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills
|
He was looking for a mark to roll
|
|
Sara was a Kappa from Tulane
|
She was looking for a little change of pace
|
When a cop pulled them over on the interstate
|
Kelly blew that car away
|
(I heard them singing)
|
|
Gulf breeze on the porch
|
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
|
Light it up again with my kin and friends
|
Underneath a yellow moon
|
(It's a Gas)
|
Sweet dream New Orleans
|
Mississippi River running over me
|
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
|
Don't mock what you don't understand
|
It's a Southern Thing
|
|
Now when they held up a bank in Mobile
|
They finally made it on the evening news
|
She's a Georgia Peach never within reach
|
He's a felon from Baton Rouge
|
I heard Robert Johnson playing on a steel guitar
|
In the heat of the Delta sun
|
When Kelly drove them back up to Memphis
|
To finish what the King had once begun
|
(Come on and sing it now)
|
|
Gulf breeze on the porch
|
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
|
Light it up again with my kin and friends
|
Underneath a yellow moon
|
(It's a Gas)
|
Sweet dream New Orleans
|
Mississippi River rolling over me
|
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
|
Don't mock what you don¡©t understand
|
It's a Southern Thing
|
|
If we ever get out of here
|
I want you to promise me
|
You'll go down to the Gulf
|
And swim
|
Deep in the sea
|
And you'll think of me
|
The way you used to sing
|
That silly song to me
|
Singing
|
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
|
Hump back hump back
|
Get a little closer
|
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
|
Hump back hump back
|
Get a little closer
|
|
Gulf breeze on the porch
|
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
|
Light it up again with my kin and friends
|
Underneath a yellow moon
|
(It's a Gas)
|
Sweet dream New Orleans
|
Mississippi River running over me
|
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
|
Don't mock what you don't understand
|
It's a Southern Thing
