Southern Cities Lyrics - Singles - The Paper Trains

[Bridge] 

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. 

[Verse 1] 

We live in a southern city, 

We drink that ice and bourbon whiskey. 

And you got time on your hands, 

I'd advise you change your route-less plans. 

[Verse 2] 

And the vast Mississippi, 

Oh makes me dream of Tennessee. 

And if you're tired of champagne, 

We'll meet you there by the Dixie train. 

[Bridge 2] 

Ooh ooh, 

Ooh oh oh. 

[Verse 3] 

From the Cumberland valley, 

Just up from Nashville, Music City. 

Took The Gulch to The Station, 

Away from downtown temptation. 

[Verse 4] 

Waking up with a sour head, 

Got to eat up your grits n' corn bread. 

Well that's what our new friend said, 

Under the iron bridge by the railroad bed. 

[Bridge] 

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. 

No Pontiac no Chevrolet, 

It's a shotgun loco all the way. 

To New Orleans via Pontchartrain, 

Memphis we'll see you again. 

[Verse 5] 

Tall buildings rising up high, 

Reminds me of a time that's gone by. 

Good ole boys on the TV screen, 

With their boot-cut jeans and Robert E. Lee. 

[Bridge 3] 

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh. 

Ahh ahh ahh ah oh. 

[Verse 6] 

Back in the big country city, 

Where the broad avenue takes me. 

Up to the blurred neon signs, 

Roach stompers come in three of a kind. 

[Bridge 4] 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
