Southern Heart - by Rob Crosby

The city lights are in her eyes
She's blinded by those neon skies
She's dancing to a song she doesn't know
Her lipstick stains the champagne glass
Her high heels hurt
The room spins fast
A stranger in a world that's not her own

Chorus:
But if you look close enough
You'll see the Spanish moss
The dogwoods blooming wild
Down by the river walk
No matter where she goes
She's never gone that far
She's got a southern heart

She wears a smile
She laughs out lout
She tries to fit into the crowd
But there's more to her
Than anyone can see
Beyond the music and the smoke
She's on a two-lane country road
She's still the small town girl she used to be

And if you look close enough
You'll see the tractor dust
Cotton field sunset
Vines on barbed wire rust
No matter where she goes
She'll never go that far
She's got a southern heart

They told her this road
Would lead to the top of this great big world
Where does it start?

No matter where she goes
She's never gone that far
She's got a southern heart
She's got a southern heart
