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