Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
[Verse 2]
Southern nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can say that he's found a better way
[Verse 3]
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Its precious beauty lies
It goes running through your soul like the stories of old
[Verse 4]
Old man
He and his dog, they walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by, weeping willows would cry for joy
Joy
[Verse 5]
Feel so good
Feel so good, it's frightening
And I wish I could stop this world from fighting
La da-da-da da, dum
[Verse 6]
Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies
[Verse 7]
Southern skies
Southern nights
