Somewhere South

　　Somewhere South - Michael Ray

　　I think about blazing heat

　　I think about small talk

　　I think about the trash piling up

　　in the back of a truck on cinder blocks

　　I think about lawn chairs

　　watermelon on a paper plate

　　I think about tea in a pitcher

　　on a porch that's drowning in sugar cane

　　oh, I think I need to catch a plane

　　Somewhere South

　　where they open that smile,

　　they smile that long so jaw falls out

　　and where I can be me and

　　get lost in the sea of a down home crowd

　　oh, I gotta get back down

　　Somewhere South

　　I think about stars and bars

　　I think about stubborn pride

　　and fightin' over Fords and Chevys

　　a war, a damn eagle, or a crimson tide

　　I think about amazing grace

　　I think about raising hell

　　and walking that lines a bitch cuz

　　ever mama has a switch in the Bible Belt

　　oh, I think I need to find myself

　　Somewhere South

　　where they open that smile,

　　they smile that long so jaw falls out

　　and where I can be me

　　and get lost in the sea of a down home crowd

　　oh, I gotta get back down

　　Somewhere South

　　like kudzu on those pines

　　my heart stays wrapped around

　　my roots, my truth, my boots

　　they miss they're stomping grounds

　　think they wanna run right now

　　Somewhere South

　　I think about a pretty girl

　　wearing my grandma's ring

　　and I think about a baby boy

　　carrying on my grandpa's name

　　and I think I wanna plant that dream

　　Somewhere South

　　Somewhere South
