Lyrics

Runnin? Down A Sounthern Sound

© 2007 Lyrics: Leigh & Al Mullis, Music: Steve Hacker
[Verse 1]

From another place and time, a heart-felt tune and a ???SELPZUSS RHYME????
Thought we heard it all before.
I don?t dance a no outta beat. It takes a real sound to move my feet.
Why can?t I hear that sound any more.

As I stare into this smoky bar.
Another faceless crowd and all I feel is proud.

[Chorus]

Here I am in this Georgia juke,
with twenty five dollars and a nasty look.
I?m just tryin? to run down,
just trying to run down that southern sound.

[Verse 2]

They tell me I should be ashamed to look and live this southern way.
Well I wouldn?t change it if I could.
Why can?t they just come to see I?m just trying to be me.
Not sorry that I?m misunderstood.

As I stare into this smoky bar.
Another faceless crowd and all I feel is proud.

[Chorus]

I?m here riding on a freebird?s wings.
A gypsy soul with a song to sing.
I?m just tryin? to run down,
just trying to run down that southern sound.

[Solo]
[Chorus]

Here I am in this Georgia juke,
with twenty five dollars and a nasty look.
I?m just tryin? to run down,
just trying to run down that southern sound.

I?m here riding on a freebird?s wings.
A gypsy soul with a song to sing.
I?m just tryin? to run down,
just trying to run down that southern sound?just trying to run down that southern sound?
just runnin? down that southern sound.
