Somewhere South

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
 Somewhere South
