SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND

© 1978 Neely Reynolds Music, BMI
GEORGIA SUNSHINE MAKES THE RED WINE
GO STRAIGHT TO MY HEAD
AND A SOUTHERN WOMAN LIKE SWEET MAGNOLIAS
LYING IN MY BED
WHO CAN FIND ANYTHING AS FINE
ANYWHERE NORTH OF HERE
OH IT SEEMS THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME
FOR A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
NOW I'VE LIVED UP IN NEW YORK CITY
IT WAS A HASSLE EVERYDAY
I'M GOING BACK WHERE PEOPLE CARE
BACK TO THE GEORGIA CLAY
WHO CAN FIND ANYTHING AS FINE
ANYWHERE NORTH OF HERE
OH IT SEEMS THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME
FOR A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
NOW THE WIND CAN BLOW THE COTTON BOWLS
THE RAIN FALLS FROM THE SKY
BUT WHEN I'M WITH YOU IN OUR GEORGIA HOME
YOU KNOW I'M SATISFIED
WHO CAN FIND ANYTHING AS FINE
ANYWHERE NORTH OF HERE
OH IT SEEMS THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME
FOR A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
A SOUTHERN PEACE OF MIND
