Great Southern Land - ICEHOUSE

It's wearing on my mind, I'm speaking all my doubts aloud You rob a dead mans grave, then flaunt it like you did create If I hit bottom and everythings gone in the great Mississippi Please, drown me and run It's digging time again, you're nurturing the weakest trend Those with the heart and the brain to get past this Can spot a pathetic without even asking Fuck your magazine, and fuck the long dead plastic scene Pierce a new hole, if Hell was "in" you'd give your soul The great southern trendkill That's right The great southern trendkill Fuck you Buy it at a store, from MTV to on the floor You look just like a star, it's proof you don't know who you are If I hit bottom and everythings gone in the great Mississippi Please, drown me and run It's bullshit time again, you'll save the world within your trend Those with the heart and the brain to get past this Can spot a pathetic without even asking Politically relieved, you're product sold and well received The right words spoken gold, if I was God you'd sell your soul The great southern trendkill That's right The great southern trendkill Fuck you

Now I ain't sayin' them LA ladies don't know what they're doing And I been in love with New York City a time or two I had some Seattle coffee, some Chicago wind Some Kansas sweet fields I'd love to see again But the fireflies play where the cattails grow And them southern girls, they talk nice and slow with Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey Little bit crazy like New Orleans Memphis blue and Daytona sunny Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans Don't you know? Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a southern girl (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (Put on a country song) (We'll dance all night long) A southern girl's mama probably taught her how a lady should act But a southern girl's probably got a barn somewhere out back She'll get a little hay in her hair, her tires in the mud She's been caught in the rain, and washed in the blood Likes cherries in her coke, takes a little sip Comes over to me with them sunburned lips and them Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey Little bit crazy like New Orleans Memphis blue and Daytona sunny Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans Don't you know? Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a southern girl (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (Put on a country song) (We'll dance all night long) If you've ever seen savannah heat up when the stars come out Well then, fellas come on, you know what I'm talkin' about Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey Little bit crazy like New Orleans Memphis blue and Daytona sunny Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans Don't you know? Ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a southern girl (Southern girl rock my world) (Put on a country song) (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (We'll dance all night long) (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (Put on a country song) (We'll dance all night long) (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (Put on a country song) (We'll dance all night long) (Southern girl rock my world) (Hazel eyes and golden curls) (Put on a country song) (We'll dance all night long)

Head down as I punch this clock The hours roll, they never stop And I can't ever seem to get ahead Always tryin' to do what's right Straight and narrow, it's gettin' tight Don't know how much longer I can stand And I'm wonderin' Yeah, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Out here on this desert road It's hot as fire but I've grown cold Circlin' like a plane that never lands And even though the questions change The answers always stay the same Maybe someday I will understand So I'm wonderin' Got me wonderin' Whеre's my promised land? Yeah, I'm wondеrin' Still, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Well, I've run this earth for many years If there's one thing I know There's nowhere on this side o' Heaven Where streets are made o' gold I've long laid tell my grand illusions Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home I won't give up on this race Broken but I still have faith That this old life is all part of a plan And I can feel it in my soul One day I'll stand before the Throne With nothin' left but hope and these two hands Through all these seasons I'm still believin' You're my promised land In all my grievin' I'm still believin' You're my promised land You're my promised land, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh My promised land, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ah-ah, (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're my promised land

If there isn't light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Oh, it's the sign Feels like the time On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo doesn't answer When it hears a certain sound Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around Then it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross All right Sail away To the sky From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach up above your dreams of pleasure Give a life to those who die Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of sighs And it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can't accept it any more On a real world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow, see it shimmer When the summer falls From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong It's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Don't live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high, about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The sign of the southern cross Play on
