South Of The South - David Dondero[00:00:00]
I was just a tender chicken in the florida rotisserie[00:00:27]
My own sweat's basting me[00:00:32]
Thunder storms are chasing me[00:00:34]
I bit into a lighting bolt[00:00:36]
My own tongue began to smoke[00:00:39]
I woke up with an empty mouth[00:00:41]
Watched the watch tick backwards[00:00:43]
South of the south[00:00:49]
The csx vibrates the tracks[00:00:55]
Mighty roaring shakes the shacks[00:00:58]
Purple skies and orange moons[00:01:00]
Plants are confident in june[00:01:03]
The humidity it's thick you can cut it with a knife[00:01:04]
If you'd like to take a breath here honey[00:01:09]
I'm gonna cut you out a slice[00:01:12]
So I developed gills and I moved into the aquifer[00:01:18]
Fell asleep in wakulla springs[00:01:23]
Woke up down in jupiter[00:01:26]
Than I moved back to the land[00:01:28]
High into an orange tree[00:01:30]
Was set for life with citrus[00:01:32]
But my body couldn't take this[00:01:35]
Acidity[00:01:41]
So strolled down to miami[00:01:46]
Tried to find myself some friends[00:01:49]
Found myself in south beach[00:01:51]
And I met some mannequins[00:01:53]
Who smelled of coconuts and coppertone[00:01:55]
Like those smells real well[00:01:58]
But as far as conversations go[00:02:00]
I guess that it stopped at the start[00:02:03]
Of the smell[00:02:10]
It was elvis and sinatra[00:02:14]
Now where's your wallet man I got ya'[00:02:17]
But now if you're poor like me[00:02:19]
They let poor people like me be[00:02:21]
They say that north beach is a war zone[00:02:23]
High rise hotels hollowed out[00:02:26]
But now we were living large[00:02:29]
We were stepping out[00:02:32]
Into a thirty dollar beach front motel[00:02:33]
Down south of the south[00:02:37]
South of the south[00:02:42]
Down in north miami[00:02:46]
South of the south[00:02:48]
Me my old lover terry[00:02:50]
South of the south[00:02:52]
We were practically married[00:02:55]
So I jumped my pogo stick[00:03:02]
All the way to ybor city[00:03:04]
Where they burned up a couple blocks[00:03:07]
And to me seemed like a pity[00:03:09]
That was once a cuban district and a center for the arts[00:03:11]
Was now a mall like atmosphere[00:03:16]
Homogonous and insincere[00:03:19]
They burned it's heart right out[00:03:21]
Down south of the south[00:03:24]
So I became the snake bird[00:03:30]
An old swamp turkey[00:03:33]
And some redneck tried to shoot me[00:03:35]
Tried to make swamp turkey jerky[00:03:37]
But I evaded all his bullets[00:03:40]
And I flew into the gulf[00:03:42]
And I jumped upon a west wind out to a safer heaven[00:03:45]
Out near alcaniz and balin[00:03:49]
Down south[00:03:52]
South of the south[00:03:56]
In the town of pensacola[00:04:01]
Riding bikes like we were kids[00:04:03]
Over cobble stones and brick[00:04:06]
They fenced moonlit bridge[00:04:08]
There's a sandlot shotgun shack[00:04:10]
Tin roof all rusted out[00:04:13]
And there's a couch on every front porch[00:04:15]
Flapping screen doors[00:04:19]
Ants on the apple cores[00:04:21]
Pop's boiled peanuts and more[00:04:23]
Down south[00:04:26]
South of the south[00:04:29]
South of the south[00:04:34]
South of opelika[00:04:37]
South of the south[00:04:39]
Do south of tuscaloosa[00:04:41]
South of the south[00:04:43]
South of old alpharetta[00:04:46]
South of the south[00:04:48]
South south carolina[00:04:51]
South of the south[00:04:53]
Down south of the south of the south[00:04:56]
