Southern Sadness Lyrics
Ever since the day I could talk
I cursed at the streetlight in this town
Swore to all my friends I`d be the one to make it out
Find a place to settle down far from here
Don`t get above your raising boy
That`s what my mama always say
And I never understood what she meant
Until the other day
When I turned to walk away from this town
My head hung down
Cause there`s a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go I`ll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there`s a southern sadness that won`t let go of this heart of mine
So I spent the next couple years
Burning every bridge I crossed
Yeah I broke my fair share of hearts along the way
I used them up
I walked away and realised
That no matter how far you roam
You never gonna feal at home
I just hope one day that I find what I need
You know what it really means to care

Cause there`s a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go I`ll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there`s a southern sadness that won`t let go of this heart of mine
And I`d be a liar if I said I was proud
And all the words that I`ve let out of my mouth
And all these deep dark twisted roads I went down down down
It`s where I found
There`s a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go I`ll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there`s a southern sadness that won`t let go of this heart of mine
