Southern nights, have you ever felt a southern night
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so-oh

Southern nights, just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologi-ise to any one who can truly say
That he has found a better way-hay, yeah

Southern skies, have you ever noticed southern skies (southern skies)
Rich precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through the soul, like the stories told of old

Old man, he and his dog that walk the old land
Every flower tou-ouched by his cold hand
As he slowly walked by weeping willows would cry for joy, joy

Feels so good, feels so good it's frightening
Wish I could stop this world from fighting

La-da-da-dah-dah, da-da-da-da-da-dah-dah
da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
da-da-dah, da-da-dah

Mystery, like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the ni-ight
In the southern skies

Southern nights
They feel so good it's frightening
Wish I could (southern nights) stop this world from fighting

Da-da-da-dah-dah, da-da-da-da-da-dah-dah
da-da-da-da-da-dah
La-da-dah, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-dah

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed........
