Buddy Jewell Lyrics - 2003

[ Buy Buddy Jewell ]

Misty sunrise
In my hometown
Rows of cotton, 'bout knee high
Mrs. Baker down the dirt road
Still got clothes out on the line
Erwin Nichols, there with Judge Lee
Playin' checkers at the gin
When I dream about the southland
This is where it all begins

From Carolina down to Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy sweet home
Alabama
Roll tide, roll
Muddy water, Mississippi
Blessed graceland whispers to me
Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on

Catchin' catfish on the river
Chasin fireflies by the creek
Kissin Gary Williams' sister
On the porch homecoming week
With rusty cars and weeping willows
Keeping watch out in the yard
Just a snapshot of downhome dixie, could be anywhere you are

In Carolina, or in Georgia
Open arms are waitin' for ya
Louisianna, yellow rose of San Antone'
Arkansas, Mississippi
Old man river whispers to me
Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on

As I sit here, I'm surrounded
By these priceless memories
I don't have to think about it
There's no place I'd rather be

Than Carolina or in Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy sweet home
Alabama
Roll tide, roll
Muddy water Mississippi
Blessed graceland whispers to me
Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort
Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on
mmm..mmm
