Summer In The South Lyrics

Reminiscing over memories that never fleet

Honeysuckle tastes so sweet

In the shade underneath that old oak tree

Feeling that cool green grass beneath my feet

Running through the sprinkler on a 90 degree heat day

Begging for a sweet breeze to take the heat away

Mouth watering at the thought of

Sunday dinner at Grandma's house

Chicken and dumplings melting in my mouth

Just to wash it away with special water

From the old water hose

Back then we never had a worry

Riding those blue ridge roads

Bikes with no helmets

Squeezing in between mom and dad

In the old pickup, seats of worn velvet

How I love looking back on those times

Times that were much simpler then

Black, Brown, White, Gay and Straight

Summer in the South everybody played

The only sides picked were cops, robbers

Shirts or Skins

Dreaming of those days, Of times

That were so much simpler then

When we lived a Summer In The South…

When the rowdy and ruckus dies down

Pickles jars catching fireflies we chased around

Lighting the meadows as we lie down

Catching our breath, wiping blood from cuts that'll probably form scars

Counting the stars from afar

Wishing

That we never forget who we were on nights like this

Sharing a sweet tea and maybe an innocent kiss

Just a little fun between kids

Moments you wish you could capture and never miss

Till the porch light came on

And momma came screamin to git on home

Black, Brown, White, Gay or Straight

Summer in the South everybody played

The only sides picked were cops, robbers

Shirts or Skins

Dreaming of those days, Of those times

That were so much simpler then

When we lived a Summer In The South…

Never grow old, only wise

Keep that inner child at heart

Hold tight to that love and never let it go

Because those memories…

Yeah those memories

Mean more to us than they'll ever know
