Straight Outta Jacksonville Songtext
von Sam Morrison Band

Them good ole boys
Started making noise
They could not be ignored
Played every bar
Both near and far
Paying dues with every chord

With a Rebel Yell
They told the tales
Of the common Southern Man
They found their sound
And held their ground
With the best bands in the land


Was it something in the water
Or Something in the air
There was something in the music
Them boys made down there
It was something to believe in
Something you could feel
There was something there that changed us
Straight Out of Jacksonville

From one brother
To another
They all had something to say
Started writing songs
They could do no wrong
And man them boys could play

Word got around
Slickers came to town
From MCA to Capricorn
They were making deals
There In Jacksonville
And Southern Rock Was born


Was it something in the water
Or Something in the air
There was something in the music
Them boys made down there
It was something to believe in
Something you could feel
There was something there that changed us
Straight Out of Jacksonville

Was it something in the water
Or Something in the air
There was something in the music
Them boys made down there
It was something to believe in
Something you could feel

There was something there that made us
Did more than entertain us
There was something there that changed us
Straight Out of Jacksonville
