lyrics

Southern World
By Mychael John Thomas

There’s a young girl
With her boyfriend walkin’ by the water tonight
He’s gonna kiss her
‘Neath an old weepin’ willow in the full moonlight
There’s a bullfrog singin’ his love song out on a lily pad
And vows are made to the serenade of a cricket band

CHORUS
It’s a piece of Heaven
When you’re livin’in the southern world
Where true love happens
Even old folks actin’ like boys and girls
With a south wind blowin’
The air makes music like you never heard
Here in the southern world

When Sunday mornin’ comes
There’s a church bell callin’ all the saints to pray
And when the preachin’s done
There’ll be dinner on the ground...Then the children play
There’s a big race out at the speedway…Somebody’s gotta win
But the pit crews and even the ones who lose
All wind up shakin’ hands

CHORUS
It’s a piece of Heaven
When you’re livin’ in the southern world
Where true love happens
Even old folks actin’ like boys and girls
And most people live like they really believe
In the Holy Word…Here in the southern world

BRIDGE
Where we still have a sense of honor...
And we treat everybody right
‘Cause God’s love has no color
When you’re walkin’ in the light

SOLO

There’s a deep pride burnin’ down inside
The heart of a southern man
And his woman knows how to make the love grow
Because she understands

CHORUS
It’s a piece of Heaven
When you’re livin’in the southern world
Where true love happens
Even old folks actin’ like boys and girls
And a gentleman still wants to shower his lady
with diamonds and pearls
Here in the southern world
Here in the southern world
