Southern And Slow

Album: Mind of a Country Boy (2023)

  • I need to find a country station
    Where the DJ's heart is breakin'
    Playin' Jones and Merle and Waylon all damn day
    I'm so sick of doin' ninety
    Need a road that's so damn windy
    Leads to somewhere no one finds this Chevrolet

    I need slow and southern
    Like a Sunday
    Like muddy water rollin' by a riverbank
    Like some sleepy little town, down with the moon
    Livin' like honey drippin' off a spoon
    Like the sun that takes an hour to get behind the water tower
    'Bout the speed of watchin' wildflowers grow
    Ain't but two ways this old boy's gonna go
    Slow and southern, southern and slow

    Yeah, I'm over wild ass women
    Gettin' gone in a New York minute
    Ah, but girl, somethin' tells me that ain't you (that ain't you)
    I wanna take my sweet time
    Like the slow buzz of that sweet shine
    Nothin' keeps me high quite like you do (like you do)

    When you love me
    Slow and southern
    Like a Sunday
    Like muddy water rollin' by a riverbank
    Like some sleepy little town, down with the moon
    Livin' like honey drippin' off a spoon
    Like the sun that takes an hour to get behind the water tower
    'Bout the speed of watchin' wildflowers grow
    Ain't but two ways this old boy's gonna go
    Slow and southern, southern and slow, southern and slow
    Southern and slow, yeah

    Whoa-oh,, girl, right now that's all I'm needin'
    Whoa-oh, just take me there and keep it

    Slow and southern
    Like a Sunday
    Like muddy water rollin' by a riverbank
    Like some sleepy little town, down with the moon
    Livin' like honey drippin' off a spoon
    Like the sun that takes an hour to get behind the water tower
    'Bout the speed of watchin' wildflowers grow
    Ain't but two ways this old boy's gonna go
    Slow and southern, southern and slow, yeah
    Southern and slow
