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