"Southern Heat" lyrics

Pockets full of nothing
But a blind man's fool is gold
Never learned all of the lessons
Just followed the smoke
The hardest days never seem to pass
And the good ones gone by so fast
So cast your stones in the river and I'll be back

He made it out alive but what added up inside
Wasn't the place that he had left
Just a young bride who in three years of time
Learned to smoke her first cigarette

Early in the morning when the rooster ain't sang yet
Before the southern heat starts dancing on your drops of broken sweat
Are you dreaming of me are you dreaming of life it'll be all alright
Are you dreaming of me are you dreaming of life it'll be all alright

Made it from shore to shore he'd seen
50 states and more
There wasn't a place he hadn't been
Was the same for that pick up truck it had
Battle scars and her makeup dust
From a bumpy ride in the past

Later in life there comes a day and a surprise
Of younger body that has fled
So lace up your shoes and venture out of the roost
And son don't you ever hang your head

Cause early in the morning when the rooster ain't sang yet
Before the southern heat starts dancing on your drops of broken sweat
She'll be dreaming of you she'll be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
She'll be dreaming of you she'll be dreaming of life it'll be all alright

And early in the morning when the gunfire ain't sang yet
Before the foreign land makes his younger body start to melt
He'll be dreaming of you he'll be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
He'll be dreaming of you he'll be dreaming of life it'll be all alright

Oh I always will
Oh I always will
Oh I always will
Be dreaming of you and be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
Be dreaming of you and be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
Be dreaming of you and be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
Be dreaming of you and be dreaming of life it'll be all alright
