Southern Blues - Patrick Sweany

Not a game you can win or lose

Live to play the southern blues

If you never had them, hope that you never will

Cuz the race I’m in can’t be won

Had more troubles, I had me a lot of fun

I might get better

I know that I won’t get well

I went to Memphis, couldn’t win no prize

Slept in the car with tears in my eyes

Sunday morning drove across that river by myself

Down south, down south

Place I wanna be

Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee

I wanna spend my days oh now in that sunny land

Some say man was born to die

Southern women man born to make you cry

But I would not mistreat you for my weight in gold

Night time is the right time

To be with the one you love

I said oh the night time ya is the right time

To be with the one you love

Not a game you can win or lose

Live to play the southern blues

If you never had them, hope that you never will
