Southern State of Mind Songtext
von David Lewis

Another stage another state
Life on the road
How far he is from home
God only knows

Well he′s home grown
And homebound
Tonight he's thinkin′
Bout his hometown

Where the grass is tall and green
And the wind blows through the trees
On a hot and sunny day
It's a game on Friday night
Then afterwards the river
And we'll float till mornin′ light
It′s a southern state of mind

My grandpa had fought
On war of vietnam
With nothin' much but his gun
And a Bible in his hand


In the chaos
And in the war
He didn′t forget
What he was fightin' for

His kids in the yard
Little bare feet playing in the dirt
With their toy cars
It′s a Sunday afternoon
Headed down to the lake
And hopefully they catch a few
It's a southern state of mind

Everybody′s got a story of their own
Somethin special that makes their place home
It's the love they share that finally makes me see
She's lyin next to me

It′s an outside wedding day
You say, "I do" and that all starts
Your honeymoon get away
It′s her hand holdin' yours
And knowin′ that the girl you chose
Is now your whole world
It's a southern state of mind
It′s a southern state of mind


Yes Texas
You're the southern state of mine
