A song about the South - "Sweet Southern Comfort"
I discovered this country song when eating at a Golden Corral recently,
and it's become my favorite, especially being a Southern boy raised in
Mississippi. "Sweet Southern Comfort," it makes me think of home, and
the great things that make and have made the South so special. Released
in 2003, Buddy
Jewell created a classic song.
Here are a few of the lyrics -
Misty sunrise in my hometown, rows of cotton bout knee high. Mrs. Baker down the dirt road, still got clothes out on the line. Erwin Nichols there with Judge Lee, playin checkers at the gin. When I dream about the southland, this is where it all begins.
As I sit here I'm surrounded, by these priceless memories, I don't have to think about it. There's no place I'd rather be. In Carolina or in Georgia, smell the jasmine and magnolia. Sleepy Sweet home Alabama. Roll tide roll. Muddy water, Misssissippi. Blessed Graceland whispers to me. Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort...
