Sweet Southern Comfort Lyrics By Buddy Jewell

    misty sunrise in my hometown
    rows of cotton about knee high
    mrs baker down the dirt road
    still got clothes out on the line

    erwin nichols there
    with judsley 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

    catching catfish on the river
    chasing fireflies by the creek
    kissing gabby williams’ sister
    on the porch homecoming week

    with rusted 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 waiting for you
    louisiana
    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
