Me and Harper Lee Lyrics

They say north is a direction

And south is coming home

I've been thinking hard about it

On this late night drive alone

Swimming holes and swinging tires

Sharing secrets in the back yard

The bibles in the barber shop

Someone underlined their favorite parts

Dixie isn’t what I sang

Whiskey wasn’t what I drank

When I sat on the front porch

And daddy read to me

They say you can’t go home again

But it’s still whispering in the wind

The ghost of the melody

A Bittersweet symphony

Of love and hate together in this town

And it’s me and Harper Lee

And summer coming down

A cigar box full of keepsakes

Sneaking underneath the fence

Her words and my memories

I cannot forget

There are lies and contradictions

Barbed wire and red clay roads

Lots of miles to travel

Long way to go

Dixie isn’t what I sang

Whiskey wasn’t what I drank

When I sat on the front porch

And daddy read to me

They say you can’t go home again

But it’s still whispering in the wind

The ghost of the melody

A Bittersweet symphony

Of love and hate together in this town

And it’s me and Harper Lee

And summer coming down

Dixie isn’t what I sang

Whiskey wasn’t what I drank

When I sat on the front porch

And daddy read to me

In that restless state of mind

Somewhere between wrong and right

There’s a ghost of a melody

A bittersweet symphony

Of love and hate together in this town

And it’s me and Harper Lee

And summer coming down
