Sweet Southern Wind

Back road blacktop through Wilkes County
 Making my way back from I-20
 Keeping a sharp eye out for the state patrol
 Two windows down, pushing near 80
 Flying so high because here lately
 I've been flying out of control
 And I've been everywhere but home in the last 96 day
 Doing time out on that lost highway
 Singing my songs and counting up my sins
 But now I'm back on the wings of the sweet southern wind
 Sweet southern wind won't you carry me home?
 
 Too far gone for far too long
 ♪
 So I left a little blood in a tattoo parlor
 Met a girl in Nashville, told her I'd call her
 And that's been three weeks ago today
 Because the further I get from that little hour
 The more I start thinking bout Red Cannas flowers
 And the Colbert 4th of July parade
 And that's just one little town
 In a whole county of people of which I'm so proud
 Going back to where my heart's always been
 Coming in on the wings of the sweet southern wind
 ♪
 Louisiana, Dothan Alabama
 Nashville, Tennessee, Charleston S.C.
 Everywhere around and in between
 Different faces, different places
 Ain't got nothing on where I call home
 Just come on by and you'll see
 Forget the things that you heard
 Around here we like to raise hell
 And "ain't" is a word
 Where my life began and where by the grace of God it will end
 Gone away on the wings of the sweet southern wind
