Southern Skies - Bruce Wall 2003

I walk the city streets and dream of yesterday,

Almost forgot who I was,

Almost lost my way,

A Southern Boy, A long way from home,

A Southern Boy, No matter where I roam,

Lord how I long for those Southern Skies,

Where the Simple Man watches the Freebird Fly,

God, Country, and all you're Kin,

Are more important than the job you're in,

City life holds nothin' but lies,

Lord, I long for Southern Skies,

The smell of home cooked pie, the rhythm of a Redbone's cry,

Families growin' old together,

A love that lasts forever,

A Southern Boy, and I'm missin' my home,

A Southern Boy, Who's too tired to roam,

Lord how I long for those Southern Skies,

Where the Simple Man watches the Freebird Fly,

God, Country, and all you're Kin,

Are more important than the job you're in,

City life holds nothin' but lies,

Lord, I long for Southern Skies,

Southern Girls still wear their Momma's dress,

And every home the Lord does bless,

Where Dixie and Glory fly side by side,

Nothing deeper than Southern Pride,

A Southern Boy, A long way from home,

A southern Boy, Back to Dixie I roam,

Lord how I long for those Southern Skies,

Where the Simple Man watches the Freebird Fly,

God, Country, and all you're Kin,

Are more important than the job you're in,

City life holds nothin' but lies,

Lord, I long for Southern Skies,
