Intro
(D\C\G\D)
DWhen I was C15 I dreamed of Gleaving mDy home
DI had to see the Cworld
And lGive like a rollingD stone
DI heard CaClifornia was Gpaved in gDold
ESo I hopped on that train
GIt didn't come easy
EBut I keep thinkin' bout
BbThe green grass andC missing my Dhome
DTake me Cback to my Gsouthern wDays
DWhere I can be Cmyself and Glive anCother day
DTake me Cback to my Gsouthern wDays
BbWhere the tall pines blow and tChe southern winds kiss my faDce C G D
DOh southern grace C G D
Me and my boys started a band
Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land
Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar
To sing about Sweet 'Bama
We were just simple men
The music is forever
and the songs will never ever end
Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face
Oh take me back!
I sit here thinkin' about those days
I wouldn't change a thing about my life today
Ain't it funny how time sure flies
'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed
WAS YOU
Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the St. John's flows, and only God - he
knows, and those southern winds kiss my face
