A Southern Thang Lyrics & Tabs by Better Than Ezra
A Southern Thang
guitar chords lyrics
Kelly was a Blackjack dealer
Living on the Gulf of Mexico
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills
He was looking for a mark to roll
Sara was a Kappa from Tulane
She was looking for a little change of pace
When a cop pulled them over on the Interstate
Kelly blew that car away
(I heard him singing)
Go freeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my? friends
Underneath the yellow moon
Sweet Dream
New Orleans
Underneath the yellow moon
Sweet Dream
New Orleans
Mississippi river running over me
Pretty momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you don't understand
It's a southern thing
It's a southern thing
Now when they held up a bank in Mobile
They finally made it on the evening news
She's a Georgia peach
Never within reach
He's a felon from Baton Rouge
I heard Robert Johnson playing on the steel guitar
In the heat of the delta sun
Kelly drove 'em back up to Memphis
Finished what the king had once begun
(Go on and sign it now)
Go freeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my? friends
Underneath the yellow moon
Sweet dream
New Orleans
Mississippi river running over me
Pretty momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you don't understand
It's a southern thing
It's a southern thing
Common baby now
Common baby
Common baby now
It's a Southern thing
Common baby now
Common baby
Common baby now
It's a Southern thing
If we ever get out of here
I want you to promise me you'll go down to the Gulf and swim
And you sing
And you'll think of me
The way you used to sing that silly song to me
Singing M I crooked letter, crooked letter, humpback, humpback, get a little closer
Common baby now
Common baby
Common baby now
It's a Southern thing
