[Verse]
Sweat drips down like a storm in flames
Sun burns deep it don't know my name
Dust kicks high boots hammer the ground
In the south I rise never backin’ down
[Verse 2]
Northern chills they froze my fire
Lost in shadows dreams expire
Here the heat it feeds my soul
Southland’s breath makes me whole
[Chorus]
I’m better in the south call me alive
Burnin’ like the roads keepin’ me alive
Miles of freedom under this sky’s mouth
Man I’ll tell ya I’m better in the south
[Bridge]
Up north I was just grit and steel
No roots no feeling no time to heal
But here the winds they sing me home
Not lost not lonely not alone
[Verse 3]
Whiskey breath nights stars roll by
Voice so loud it cracks the sky
Song of the swamp heart like a drum
South’s the place where I’m from
[Chorus]
I’m better in the south call me alive
Burnin’ like the roads keepin’ me alive
Miles of freedom under this sky’s mouth
Man I’ll tell ya I’m better in the south
