The Southern Side - Mike Zito

I walked to New York City in the pouring rain

I jumped in the ocean in the California waves

I watched the sun go down over Tokyo in lights

But nothing compares to the southern side of life

I love the heat wave that we have on Halloween

The fish and crab for sale on the side of the street

But where your momma makes cornbread

It’s so thick you need a knife

It’s so much sweeter baby

On the southern side of life

It’s like all the love and the sugar just melt into the sun

We don’t need no morning baby just to have a little fun

Everywhere that I am in this world

You know that I am on the run

I’m driving south baby

To kiss the only one

Oh yeah

Now you can keep your politics

And your freezing rain

Put on your overcoats

I’ll take hot summer Texas Christmas

Eating fried chicken with my wife

Lord it’s so much sweeter babe

On the southern side of life

The southern side of life

The southern side of life

The southern side of life

Oh yeah

Oh yeah
