Sharon Van EttenSouthern Life (What It Must Be Like) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my life I closed my eyes
And stumbled in with wayward mind
A stubborn child, but love did have
With one light shining, overlooked
Oh, I wish I knew what you had said
I was hardened by what thoughts you meant
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are shaking as a mother
Trying to raise her son right
[Chorus]
Why can't you see it from the other side?
We must imagine what it must be like
The southern life
It's such a fucking lie
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, what it must be like
[Verse 2]
Shall his life be like my shooting star
Forever frozen? No, he's too smart
[Bridge]
I can't believe what I have seen
I wake up to a fucking dream
[Chorus]
There is no light, there is no dark
There is no life or sense of being
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, what it must be like
Oh, what it must be like
[Chorus]
Such a southern life
Such a southern life
[Outro]
Oh, what it must be like
Oh, what it must be like
Oh, what it must be like
Oh, what it must be like
