Southern United States Lyrics - Leif Vollebekk

Southern United States 

I had a dream I was standing beneath the Memphis moon 

with William Blake painting and Crosby crooning 

and his father was a sailor 

Who left his mother young, and so she dressed him the same 

He took after his father, without the last name 

A Welshman from Tennessee 

Who spoke with an accent that resembled no other 

Cut from the cloth, he showed me his daughter 

And Lilly was a Rose 

Married into money oh but it only changed her clothes 

And then she found out what everybody knows 

With her eyes hair closed and her hands arisen 

She leaned into talk and leaned in to listen 

She said those political songs they're worth missing

I awoke at the wheel 

With the wind, road and radio fluttering in my ears 

I was following my heart like I hadn't for years 

I put on Lou Reed's Berlin 

I had a friend once that asked me."Who needs Berlin?" 

"well", I said, "I guess it depends on the state that you're in." 

I was stopped at the border 

I don't know what it is they thought I had but by the end, I'd had it 

Low Texas drawl coming over the static 

I looked up at the bristling stars and they looked so sad it was the Southern United States
