Kelly had a taste for guns and pills
It's a southern, it's a southern thing
(I heard him singin')
She's a Georgia peach, never within reach
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends
Sweet dream, New Orleans
Come on baby, now
I heard Robert Johnson playing on the steel guitar
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing
When a cop pulled 'em over on the interstate
Now when they held up the bank in Mobile
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth
Kelly blew that car away
(It's a Gas)
Sarah was a Kappa from Tulane
Underneath the yellow moon
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing
Come on baby, now
To finish what the king had once begun
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth
He was looking for a mark to roll
"M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-humpback-humpback"
Sweet dream, New Orleans
(Come on and sing it now)
Come on baby, now
Come on baby, now
(It's a southern thing)
Come on baby, now
Oo yeah
Get a little closer
Mississippi River running over me
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends
Get a little closer
Sweet dream, New Orleans
(It's a Gas)
Come on baby, now
If we ever get out of here
Gulf breeze on the porch
Mississippi River running over me
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
Come on baby, now
Underneath the yellow moon
He's a felon from Baton Rouge
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing
The way you used to sing that silly song to me
It's a southern, it's a southern thing
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends
Come on baby, now
She was looking for a little change of pace
I want you to promise me you'll go
It's a southern, it's a southern thing
Sing, "M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-humpback-humpback"
Come on baby, now
In the heat of the Delta sun
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
They finally made it on the evening news
Deep in the sea and you'll think of me
(It's a Gas)
Underneath the yellow moon
Down to the Gulf and swim
And Kelly drove 'em back up to Memphis
Come on baby, now
Mississippi River running over me
Gulf breeze on the porch
