Lake — Southern Nights lyrics

Lyrics

They said the town was dying
It didn’t stand a chance
So I was forced to search for a job
Up on higher lands
She said she wouldn’t leave me She had to come along
But broken-hearted I departed on a lonely trail
To weather the storm, and …
Southern nights are on my mind
Southern nights are on my mind
Southern nights keep calling
All the time they’re calling me back home,
On and on, (repeat) …
We write a lot of letters
There’s not a lot to say
She tells me nothing’s changed there
And I say here it’s the same
For when I get my money
I pay my bill and board
And what is over aint enough to bring her along
To where she belongs …
Southern nights are on my mind
Southern nights are on my mind
Southern nights keep calling
All the time they’re calling me back home,
On and on, (repeat) …
