Southland Bleu Edmondson
[E]A.M. on Sunday[A] and I’m wal[E]kin’ real slow[A]
[E]Keeping time with sunshine I g[A]ot no real place to g[E]o[A]
[E]And its cold down here but I c[A]an’t com[E]plain[A]
[E]Standin in the breeze [A]of a slow movin t[E]rain (1 count paus[A]e)
In the Sout[E]hland[A] [E] [A]
That man from Alabam’ told me where he’d been
Said he’d gone all around the world, till he made it back home again
He said I’ll tell you somthin son sure as here I stand
He said I don’t know much, but I know this, the lord smiles on Dixie land (Stay on the A for 8 counts)
Chorus
[B]Keep on truck[A]ing Kentucky Mile[E]
[B]Fall in lov[A]e with a delta smile (In [E]the second chorus he says ‘bayou’ not delta)
[B]Sweet Gorgia peach is [A]gonna give me some[E]
[B]Slam down that hammer boys[A] and watch me run[B] [A]
Through the Southlan[E]d[A] [E] [A]
I don’t fall in love, cause you know I got a ramblin way
I blame all on the street survivors, yeah those boys from FLA
Watch your feet pretty mama, see if they shuffle around
Come get real close to me and I tell you what’s going down
In the Southland
Chorus
Just north of my hometown, I got some friends you see
Those boys from Oklahoma getting high on southern reverie
Keep the campfires burning, don’t worry if I’m not there (open)
I come creeping up quick with a smile on my face baby’s got pine needles in her hair
That’s how we do it in the Southland
Get up getup stand up stand up in the Southland
Get up getup stand up stand up in the Southland
Proud people proud people in the Southland
Wont you come on and take a ride
Mama’s in the kitchen daddy’s in the field
We ain’t got nothin to hide
Down here in the Southland
