Southern States

I have seen the moonlight
 On the shoulder of the midnight road
 On the county fire
 I've been running for hours
 Now my feet are broke, I haven't spoke
 I gotta mind to pray
 For the people in southern states
 For to keep it underground
 For your secrets you know I've got a yearning
 From my head on down
 For the autumn around the bend
 For to carry over seas
 For the person you know I've been searching for
 In the city streets
 And I could hear the landslide
 When you asked to stay, I drove you away
 To the outer bank
 Since I've been counting the treetops
 Listen all the day for your wheels to say
 How could I be so wrong?
 For the people in southern states
 For to keep it underground
 For your secrets you know I've got a yearning
 From my head on down
 For the autumn around the bend
 For to carry over seas
 For the person you know I've been searching for
 In the city streets
