I've looked on down, now baby it looks nice
You don't have to tell me more than once or twice
I've kept all the things, you found my walking shoes
I found out a way to rig it so I can't lose

Now I said darling
Would you keep on pushing?
Would you keep on riding?
All you love is down
But I can't leave town
No, I guess I'll spend my days
Southern dreaming

I fight through this haze, baby
Fight through the malaise
I'll live down there til my dying days

I see when I sleep, baby, through my dreams
That I've read in the pages of books and magazines

Now I said darling
Would you keep on pushing?
Would you keep on riding?
All you love is down
But I can't leave town
No, I guess I'll spend my days
Southern dreaming
Now I said darling
Would you keep on pushing?
Would you keep on riding?
All you love is down
But I can't leave town
No, I guess I'll spend my days
Southern dreaming
