Misty sunrise in my hometown,
|
Rows of cotton bout knee high,
|
Mrs. Baker down the dirt road,
|
Still got clothes out on the line,
|
|
Erwin Nichols there with Judge Lee,
|
Playin checkers at the gin,
|
When I dream about the southland,
|
This is where it all begins
|
|
From Carolina down to Georgia,
|
Smell the jasmine and magnolia,
|
Sleepy Sweet home Alabama,
|
Roll tide roll,
|
Muddy water, Misssissippi,
|
Blessed Graceland whispers to me,
|
Carry on, Carry on,
|
Sweet Southern Comfort carry on,
|
|
Catchin catfish on the river,
|
Chasin fireflies by the creek,
|
Kissin Gary Williams sister,
|
On the porch Homecomin week,
|
|
With rusty cars and weeping willows,
|
Keepin watch out in the yard,
|
Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie,
|
Could be anywhere you are,
|
|
In Carolina or in Georgia,
|
Open arms are waitin for ya,
|
Louisianna yellow rose of San Antone,
|
Arkansas, Mississippi,
|
Old man river whispers to me,
|
Carry on, Carry on,
|
Sweet Southern Comfort carry on,
|
|
As I sit here I'm surrounded,
|
By these priceless memories,
|
I don't have to think about it,
|
There's no place I'd rather be,
|
|
In Carolina or in Georgia,
|
Smell the jasmine and magnolia,
|
Sleepy Sweet home Alabama,
|
Roll tide roll,
|
Muddy water, Misssissippi,
|
Blessed Graceland whispers to me,
|
Carry on, Carry on,
|
Sweet Southern Comfort,
|
Carry on, Carry on,
|
Sweet Southern Comfort carry on
|
