Every day here’s cold 'n rainin' / S’why my baby headed south 'n now I’m gettin' drunk n dreamin / 'bout her honey drippin' mouth
Yeah she’s gone it's torture / It's a pain I just can’t bare Cause my heart is in her soul / When she’s not here
So I take a sip of bourbon / And dream about your southern ways (slow southern ways) / And it gets me little closer, little closer To a better day / Yes that gets me little closer / To a better day
Oh I missed those southern comforts / When the chill got in my bones Now that ol magnolia curtain / Got me sad n so alone
Yeah I can feel that southern breeze / It’s right there in her smile Don't it make you wanna ride the rails tonight / (Hop a train)
I'm drinkin' Jim Beam from the bottle / It brings me to a different place (with slow southern ways) / Oh don't it get you a little closer, closer To a better day / Yeah that gets me a little closer To a better day / Here I come
Yeah I miss my sugar darlin' / And her sweet slow southern ways Wish you's a hundred miles an hour / Rollin down that Natchez Trace (look out fo' the po' po')
I'm gonna get my self together / Gonna quit this town tonight Hop a train across that Mason Dixon line
