Lyrics

SOUTHERN WOMAN

the word travels round through groups of musicians
who spend their time just wishing for conditions
and I guess you know you?ve made it when you?ve made it with a moviestar
when we?re on the bus and we?re covering the miles
we?re glued to the tube the news of Lyle?s trials
?cause if he got the blues he gonna play it on his guitar

and he got
used to the love of a southern woman
used to the touch of a southern woman
used to the song that a southern woman sings
used to the drawl of a southern woman
used to the y?all of a southern woman
so get used to the tears that a southern woman brings

it?s the kind of story we can all enjoy
about a beautiful girl and a talented boy
but if you ain?t been there I guess you can?t understand
he?s a big haired boy with a crooked kind of mouth
got himself a bride from way down south
and became the overnight patron saint of the traveling bands

CHORUS

hey I know the paparazzi ain?t treating you right

now the tabloid press surely gave them a fight
?cause they?re not quite news and they?re not quite right
and they followed the two wherever they decided to go
and they said it was coming so it came of course
and they cracked under pressure and they got a divorce
we were so upset we couldn?t drink a single thing that night, alright?
