Intro
(C\F\C\C)
CWhen I was F15 I dreamed of Cleaving mCy home
CI had to see the Fworld
And lCive like a rollingC stone
CI heard CaFlifornia was Cpaved in gCold
ASo I hopped on that train
CIt didn't come easy
ABut I keep thinkin' bout
D#The green grass andF missing my Chome
CTake me Fback to my Csouthern wCays
CWhere I can be Fmyself and Clive anFother day
CTake me Fback to my Csouthern wCays
D#Where the tall pines blow and tFhe southern winds kiss my faCce F C C
COh southern grace F C C
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
