Southland In The Springtime Lyrics - Nomads Indians Saints - Indigo Girls

maybe we'll make texas by the morning 

light the bayou with our tail lights in the night 

800 miles to el paso from the state line 

and we never have the money for the flight 

i'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel 

we played our hearts out all night long in new orleans 

and i'm dirty from the diesel fumes, drinking coffee black 

when the first breath of texas comes in clean 

and there's something bout the southland in the springtime 

where the waters flow with confidence and reason 

though i miss her when i'm gone 

it won't ever be too long 

till i'm home again to spend my favorite season 

when god made me born a yankee he was teasin' 

there's no place like home and none more pleasin' 

than the southland in the springtime

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

in georgia nights are softer than a whisper 

beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand 

with the farmland like a tapestry 

passed down through generations 

and the peach trees stitched across the land 

there'll be cider up near helen off the roadside 

and boiled peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers 

and the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky 

with a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers 

and there's something bout the southland in the springtime 

where the waters flow with confidence and reason 

though i miss her when i'm gone 

it won't ever be too long 

till i'm home again to spend my favorite season 

when god made me born a yankee he was teasin' 

there's no place like home and none more pleasin' 

than the southland in the springtime
