Sweet Southern Comfort Written by - Rodney Clawson & Brad Crisler From - Buddy Jewell A misty sunrise in my hometown Rows of cotton 'bout knee high Mrs. Baker down the dirt road Still got clothes out on the line Irwin Nichols, there with Judsley Playin' Chequers 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, Mississippi 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, homecoming week With rusted cars and weepin' willows Keepin' watch out in the yard Just a snapshot of down home Dixie Could be anywhere you are In Carolina or in Georgia Open arms are waitin' for you Louisiana, 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 Than Carolina or in Georgia Smell the jasmine and magnolia Sleepy sweet home, Alabama Roll tide roll Muddy water, Mississippi Blessed Graceland whispers to me Carry on, carry on Sweet southern comfort Carry on, carry on Sweet southern comfort, carry on ©Warner Tamerlane Publishing |
