[Verse]
On the river where the waters hum low
Casting lines where the tall grass grows
Got my rod and my stash of dreams
Southern skies and a moon that gleams
[Chorus]
Florida nights roll in so sweet
Georgia breeze with a backbeat heat
Louisiana haze where the bayou speaks
Puffing slow on the river's sleek
[Verse 2]
Texas stars
They light my trail
Mississippi whispers in the night so frail
Alabama roads call me back to roam
The Carolinas sing like they're my home
[Bridge]
Arkansas shadows stretch and sway
Tennessee hills dance the night away
I reel in peace with the southern wind
Life feels right where the roots begin
[Chorus]
Florida nights roll in so sweet
Georgia breeze with a backbeat heat
Louisiana haze where the bayou speaks
Puffing slow on the river's sleek
[Verse 3]
In the smoke and the strum of this old guitar
Every state’s a verse and I’m never far
From the river’s edge where the stories flow
The south’s in my veins wherever I go
