Sweet Southern Summer

Cicadas singing in the promised land

Cornbread cookin' in a butter pan

Daddy's outside teachin Tommy how to be a man

Nanny's on the porch in her rockin chair

Pink and blue curlers in her silver hair

Get drunk on the smell'a honeysuckle hangin' in the air

Out there in the county past the service signal line

pavement turns to red clay you can hear the crickets cry

Both feet in the water, let the current take the lead

Sweet Southern summer

Truck bed sippin' North Georgia shine

Catfish bitin' on a braided line

Bonfire burnin' good weed and pine,

 mighty fine mighty fine

Out there in the county past the service signal line

pavement turns to red clay you can hear the crickets cry

Both feet in the water, let the current take the lead

Sweet Southern summer, Southern summer

Sweet Southern summer

Highway help me

Won't you take me

Lula Road up to Mossy Creek

Save my soul

Take me home

Back to where my roots run deep

Out there in the county past the service signal line

pavement turns to red clay you can hear the crickets cry

Both feet in the water, let the current take the lead

Sweet Southern summer, Southern summer

Sweet Southern summer
