I hear the south callin' me
I've been away much too long
Mason Dixon fever won't leave me alone
The only cure I know for sure is a one way ticket home
Watermelon ripe on the vine
Catfish are nibbling on my line
Slow southern drawls and homemade alcohol
I hear the south callin' me
[ guitar - piano ]
I hear the south callin' me
I've been away much too long
Big city blues sure got my soul
Give me country bars and steel guitars and Dixie rock & roll
I've had those New York satin dolls
I've had my fill of it all
It's time I feel for some sweet southern belle
I hear the south callin' me
I hear the south callin' me
I hear the south callin' me
