lyrics

Southern Pines - Capo 2 A harmonica

Am C G
(G)It’s been so long since I’m back in the city
Birmingham girls always out to get me in this (Am) slow (C.) town I been (G)growing
I took my (G) ’67 Ford out to Emory mountain
In the Mexican foothills where a boy’s always counting
Getting (Am) stoned down a (C.)road I been (D) blowing

Chorus
(D)I found my (C.) way through southern (G) pines
Where the (Am) stars and the (C.) moon shine all the (G) time
(D) Left my (C.) heart in a border (G) town
With a (Am) Mexican princess when the (C.) summer came (G) around

(G) I work all week in a Birmingham factory
Straw boss there acts like he don’t know me and I (Am) can’t (C.) work my way (G) up
I’ve got the (G) three meals a day – clothes on my back
But my Birmingham city hometown shack ain’t (Am) making me (C.) stay home (D) much. (Chorus)

I’m (G) leaving today for my Emory beauty
To her sombrero father I’ll stage my duty
When I’m (Am) leaving this (C.)city for (G) good
I’ll (G) count all the grapes for the wine I’ll be counting
Drinking the (G)wine in the sunshine love from her fountain
Just (Am) like a (C.) poor boy (D)should (Chorus)
