I hear the south calling me
I've been away much too long
Mason Dixon fevers
Won't leave me alone
The only cure I know for sure
Is a one way ticket home
Watermelons ripe on the vine
Catfish a nibbling on my line
Slow southern draws
And a home made alcohol
I hear the south calling me
I hear the south calling me
I've been away much too long
Big city blues sure got my soul
Keep it country bars and steel guitars
And a Dixie rock and roll
I've had those New York satins on
I've had my feel of it all
This time I fell
For some sweet southern bell
I hear the south calling me
I hear the south calling me
I hear the south calling me
