Lyrics
THE SOUTH IN ME
WORD & MUSIC BY SAL BELLOISE
WELL I MET THIS OLD MAN
HE SAID "WALK BOY DON'T RUN"
YOU'LL GET A LOT MORE ACCOMPLISHED
YOU'LL GET A LOT MORE DONE
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN
I DID MY RUNNING AROUND
'TILL THE BURNING HOT SUN
BURNED MY FEET TO THE GROUND
NOW I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
I WALK SLOW AND I TALK SLOW
COMES TO MAKING LOVE MY GIRL AGREES
I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
SOMETIMES I'VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN
LET THE WORLD GO SPINNING BY ME
I CAN CATCH UP IN A MINUTE OR THREE
I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
WELL I'VE BEEN TO NORTHERN CITIES
BUT WHEN THE COLD WIND HIT ME
THAT'S WHEN I KNEW THAT I WAS FURTHER THEN I SHOULD BE
I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
NO MATTER WHERE I GO
HER GENTLENESS SURROUNDS ME
LIKE THE GREY MOSS HANGING ON A LAZY TREE
I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
AND WHEN I LAY DOWN MY HEAD
I'LL DREAM OF PALM TREES SWAYING
AND WATER LAPPING HIGH ABOVE MY KNEES
I'VE GOT THE SOUTH IN ME
