Southern Nights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so

[Verse 2]
Southern skies
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

[Verse 3]
Feel so good
Feel so good, it's frightenin'
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La da da da da da la da da da da da da da da

[Verse 4]
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Its precious beauty lies deep beyond the eye
Goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old

[Verse 5]
Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
The weeping willow would cry for joy

[Verse 6]
Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies

[Outro]
La da da da da da la da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
