Southern Sun

I got a flower here

Sitting in my hand

Honey, I got music I made

Hummin’ round the ceiling fan

I got a brain that isn’t normal a bit

I’m tired mostly from it

Every day it rises

I’m not greatful for the chance

Every day I get up

Just another simple man

Wastin’ away

Too much water and it’ll rot at the stem

Too much southern sun takes color from it

I got this plan this time to keep it alive

I’m tired mostly from it

Every day I’m thinking

But not getting that much done

I’m talkin’ nonsense

Just to hear my thoughts give up

Wastin’ away

Well, I got a flower here

That’s making me sad

Nothing I could ever do would make it come back

I got a brain that isn’t normal a bit

I’m tired mostly from it

Every time I get like this

I’m not asking for a lot

Every day I’m losing hope

Somebody’s there to stop me

From wastin’ away
