When I was fifteen I dreamed of leaving my home
I had to see the world and live like a rolling stone
I heard California was paved in gold
So I hopped on that train, it didn't come easy
But I keep thinking 'bout the green grass
and missin' my home

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself, yeah live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines grow and the southern winds kiss my face
Oh southern ways

Me and my boys started a band
Practiced every day out on the hell house land
Played every honky tonk and beer-soaked bar
Sing about sweet 'bama, we were just simple men
The music is forever and the songs will never ever end

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself, yeah live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines grow and the southern winds kiss my face
Oh Lord take me back

I sit here thinking about those days
I wouldn't change a thing about my life today
Ain't it funny how time sure flies
'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed was you

Take my back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself, yeah live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines grow and the St. John's flows
And only God he knows and those southern winds kiss my face
Take me back to my southern ways
