lyrics

Southern Song
Written by Josh Johnston & Doug Kinch
© 2022 Copyright Control

You’ve never been down this street before,
Never wound up outside my door,
Way Back Home has always been my thing,
And your City Lights ain’t the song I sing
But compass points never hold you down,
You took a reading on my hometown,
I was waiting for your word of mouth,
You blew hot and cold, Now you’re heading south,

Southern Song,
You’ve come to hear a southern song,

City station in the morning sun,
Old Grey Northern’s making platform 1
No destination, No turning back
Sleeper’s wake while I’m here on track,
I don’t know if you’ll think I lied,
Or if you’ll chill under southern skies,
I’ve got you and we’ll be ok,
The needle spins and it points the way,

Southern Song
We’ve come to hear your southern song,
Southern Song
Can’t wait to hear your southern song,
