The 484 South Band : LIVE AT THE VARSITY:
LYRICS to SONGS from 21 MILES of BAD ROAD
Love Me
She love me and she squeeze me, baby, oh so tight.
She’s the only lovely lady that’ll do me right.
She’s the little piece of heaven in every slice.
She’s the only lucky seven in every dice.
Love me so baby, love me so right.
Love me today, baby, love me tonight.
She hug me and she kiss me, baby, oh so tight.
She’s the little senorita, She do me right.
She’s the only little girl, She make me feel so high.
She’s my only little baby, make me touch the sky.
Love me so baby, love me so right.
Love me forever, baby, love me tonight.

That Brother of Mine
He left home, — too damn young.
Told my dad, I’m tired of this place
I gotta find my way.
With his 4×4, — and a gun in the rack.
Didn’t have a care in the world,
He didn’t take any flack. (That brother of mine)
He’d crank old Hank, — Junior this time.
Or the CDB, either one was fine.
Cruise the Sonic on a Friday night,
Just after the game.
Lookin’ for a girl or a fight,
You know it’s all the same.
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
He liked to ride in the mud and the pines,
Head on down to the creek.
Grab a beer and an old inner tube,
A redneck pure breed.
Took the cops on a wild goose chase,
Where the backroads wind.
Only needed 1 more mile,
To cross the county line.
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
That brother of mine (that brother of mine)
I Drown
I brought you pleasure, you bring me pain.
My respect for you, well, you bring me shame.
How it makes you laugh, now to see me cry.
Does it make you live just to see me die?
Chorus
Why do you insist that I drown?
Every time my head’s above water, you push it down.
I try to scream, there is no sound.
Why do you insist that I drown?
Was this your plan from the very start
or has the time hardened your heart?
Taking life from me; you know you’ve been paid.
It’s too late for me to get away.
Chorus
Solo:
Chorus
You’ve had your way; nothing I can do.
But I’ve saved my last breath for you.
I’m gonna cling to you as I go down.
And just like me, you’re gonna drown.
Chorus
Chorus
Southern Angel
She never knew, her daddy’s name
and mama’s men (well they), all looked the same
Looked the same, such a shame.
She cried through the night, so deep was the pain
her eyes were dyin’, but heart was on fire
to fly away, just fly away
Chorus:
She’s a Southern Angel as she flies through the night
A Southern Angel headed high in the sky
A Southern Angel as she flies to the light
singing Hallelujah, and bye, bye,
the sweet bye and bye
As time slipped away, games were harder to play
She’d smile when she had to, but it was such a strain
through the pain, no refrain.
She lived her life, tryin’ to get it straight
now she’s tired of tryin’, she don’t wanna wait
another day, to fly away
Chorus
Solo

Baton Rouge Tonight
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Been on the road with my band.
Played everywhere but the West Coast lands.
Most people are really nice,
That just ain’t my life.
I Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Spent 3 long days down in Macon, Georgia, man.
Nothing much from there but The Allman Brothers Band.
Food down at the H&H,
Ain’t nothing like those Cajun greats.
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Solo
Stopped by a cop in Mobile, Alabam
Where the people say, “No Sir and a yes Ma’am”
but I almost screamed and cried,
when I got a ticket and he said, “Roll Tide”
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Solo
Hattiesburg late one summer’s night.
Trying to find a cold one and a light.
Sitting down in Nick’s Ice House,
Ain’t nothing like The Roux House.
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
Wish I was down in Baton Rouge tonight.
All Night Long
I went down to Birdie’s last Saturday night
Looking for some peace of mind.
Found me a woman with cold blue eyes
Yeah, she got me hypnotized.
She was drinking Jack Daniels whiskey
Playin’ every honky tonk
Danced all night ‘til her shoes fell off
Lord she played her favorite song – all night long
Well you know she got me all paralyzed
With her jeans that fit just right
Got me goin’ crazy, outta my mind
Ain’t but one thing I can do tonight.
I’ll be drinking Jack Daniels whiskey
Playin’ every honky tonk
Dance all night ‘til my shoes fall off
Lord I’ll play her favorite song – all night long
Said, I’ll be drinking Jack Daniels whiskey
Playin’ every honky tonk
Dance all night ‘til my shoes fell off
Lord I’ll play my favorite song – all night long
Solo
Double Chorus:
Yeah, we were drinking Jack Daniels whiskey
Playin’ every honky tonk
Danced all night ‘til our shoes fell off
Lord we played our favorite song – all night long
No Words
I was ten when my daddy left home, he went unheard.
Momma cried herself to sleep as I tried to figure out the absurd
Tom and Jerry flickering in the light,
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
The bottle became one of my best friends, and my home.
We stuck together side by side, Lord, never alone.
And I soon became like that man I’d never known.
All my dreams flickering in the night.
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
There are no words. There are no words.
Bridge:
Redemption is around the corner.
No matter what you’ve seen and heard.
Redemption is what you want now
But you can’t get it with your words.
Ten years clean and my best friend is my son.
You know he forgave me, Lord,
for all the things I’d never done (every one)
They say that time can heal all wounds, but I think they’re wrong.
All my dreams flickering in the light.
No sound, no words, not even a fight.
There are no words. There are no words.
There are no words. There are no words.
Life Worth Living
If I had to do it all over again,
I might change a thing or three, but never you and me.
Well, I might rewrite a crazy day when things went wrong.
But, I’d never change you, baby, ‘cause you’re my favorite song.
‘Cause you make this life worth living.
You make this crazy world around us seem so right.
Day or night, wrong or right, you make this life,
This life worth living.
I remember those hazy days with nowhere left to go.
When we got lost together and left that lonely road.
The blue skies in your eyes take me where I wanna be.
And tell me everything we are and we could be.
Cause you make this life worth living.
You make this crazy world around us seem so right.
Day or night, wrong or right, you make this life,
This life worth living.
You make this life worth living.
You make this crazy world around us seem so right.
Day or night, wrong or right, you make this life,
This life worth living.
Cause you make this life worth living.
You make this crazy world around us seem so right.
Day or night, wrong or right, you make this life,
This life worth living.
You make this life, this life worth living.
Take
(Woman) What you thinkin’ when you walked outside my door?
That I’d be crawling around or maybe beggin you for more?
That I’d be down on my knees baby beggin’ you to stay?
You thought I’d end it all since you left and went away?
You can take everything I own,
Leave me standing in the rain.
You can take it all and more,
I aint forgettin’, sure aint forgiven’.
You take your diamond ring or, baby, leave it on the floor.
Take the dagger outta’ my back from where you left if before.
Tell all your friends how you took my heart away.
Well I got news for you, I think I’ll be alright. Okay?
You can take everything I own,
and leave me standing in the rain.
You can take it all and more,
I aint forgettin’, sure aint forgiven’. (no, no)
SOLO
(Double Chorus)
Well you can take everything I own,
and leave me standing in the rain.
You can take it all and more,
I aint forgettin’, sure aint forgiven’.
Born and Raised
I wanna see the house that I grew up in
The grass that covers grandpa’s field
I wanna feel the water on my face again
when I run down to the creek and jump in
Wanna taste my mama’s sweet granny apple pie
Sunday dinner with my family and friends
I wanna give my bottles back to the five and dime
Just like we did when we were kids.
Where I was born and raised (born and raised)
Where I was born and raised (born and raised)
Where I was born and raised.
I want to see the tall bluffs of Vicksburg
The sandy white shores of Ship Island
Have a drink with my friends down at Hal & Mal’s
Have a beer and some good ole ribs from the Shed
I wanna see the sun rise on my Delta pride
Then watch it fall right down again
So light the fire on the grill boys I’m coming home
And I won’t slow down ‘til I pull on in.
Chorus
Solo
Mama’s always there to say
son sit a spell and stay . . . . won’t you stay.
Where I was born and raised (born and raised)
Where I was born and raised (born and raised)
Where I was born and raised (born and raised)
Where I was born and raised.
Fades
There’s nothing I’d like better to do
than to spend a little time together.
It doesn’t matter when it comes to you,
any place, any time or weather.
Well, I get lost in your caramel eyes
And ignore what’s going on around me.
No matter what, I hope you realize
I’m in heaven when your love surrounds me.
‘Cause you take me to a place I can’t explain.
Know all my secrets too, but it doesn’t change a thing.
Well, I rescued you and you rescued me right back.
We’ve got a love that’s real and the rest just fades to black.
Our days are precious, they go by so fast.
There’s no guarantee on the morrow.
Nobody wins if we live in the past.
We’ve gotta forget that sorrow.
Even today is a mystery
Sometimes we’re left wondering, “What if?”.
It’s all about love for you and me;
In the end that’s all we’re left with.
‘Cause you take me to a place I can’t explain.
You know all my secrets too, but it doesn’t change a thing.
Well, I rescued you and you rescued me right back.
We’ve got a love that’s real and the rest just fades to black.
Solo
Chorus
We’ve got a love that’s real and the rest just fades to black.
We’ve got a love that’s real and the rest just fades to black.
Wrote This Song
Watching you move away, I picked up a guitar, started to strum.
Well, I could never find the words to say, you were older and I was young.
Time has a funny way, it seems of making, things, come back around.
As I sit here, looking out from this stage, I see you’re back in town
CHORUS
I could never reach you; although I wanted to
You were older and I was young
I could never hold you; the way I wanted to
That’s why I had to write this song.
The scene has changed now, I get around some,
in the town you called home
Seems that you, and I’ve changed too,
I’ve grown older; you’ve seem to grow young
Picked up this old guitar, strum the chords and the music starts to flow.
Send my eyes across the room through the crowd,
they catch yours; here it goes
CHORUS
Solo
But I could never reach you; although I wanted to
You were older and I was young
I could never hold you; the way I wanted to
That’s why I had to write this song.
Never got to love you; This is my chance too
You were older and now you seem so young
I’m gonna be with you; Like I wanted to
Just like I wrote in this song
Like I wrote in this song
SO LONG
When I was a young man, I really didn’t understand.
The words that you told me, now the truth I see.
It’s not the money you make or money for money’s sake.
Many things will come and go, you’ll miss people the most.
Chorus
So long, sad to see you go. I’m still learnin’ just what you knew.
What you said years ago; your wisdom hits like déjà vu.
Work was your plan, no party for the man.
You don’t have to like it you see, that’s the way it’s gotta be.
It’s your family for heaven’s sake, a love you can’t replace.
Money will come and go, it’s not your friend or brother, no.
Chorus
Solo
You said be a better man. Now I understand
How it had to be. ‘cuz of what you didn’t have I see.
You could not afford to lose, no time to sing the blues.
And now that I walk in your shoes, it’s your words that I use.
Chorus
