Head South - Neal McCoy

Head south in the mornin':

Just take off with no warnin'

Tell your boss you need a change of scene

Head south if you’re feelin'

Your homesick heart is reelin'

An' get yourself a bowl of butter beans

Anywhere east of the Rio Grande

Get you a cane pole in your hand:

Fry a mess of fish up on the bank

You cross that Mason-Dixon line

Leave your cares an' worries behind:

Sit out under a Willow tree an' think

Head south: are you listenin'?

You don’t know what you’re missin'

From Virgina shores to the Gulf of Mexico

Well, head south to Kentucky

Blue Ridge Mountains if you’re lucky

From the Florida Keys to the banks of the Ohio.

(Ohio.)

You will feel the heart of Texas swing;

Dixieland down in New Orleans;

Delta blues on the side of a riverbank

Your Country Soul down in Tenessee;

An' that Mountain Music’s all right by me

Hot Jambalaya, you’re in the land of Hank

(Oh, hit it.)

(Tickle that ivory, yeah, aw yeah.)

(Mmm, mm, that’s all right.)

(Oh, yeah.)

Head south, good God almighty

Ain’t the thought of it excitin'?

Crab cakes, corn bread, crawfish an' barbecyue

Head south, horn of plenty

For the few an' the many

All the south is missin', man, is you, yeah

All the south is missin', man, is you

(Da, da, da. Da, da, da.)

Aw, hah
