Jimmy Barret - Southern Places lyrics

rate me

Hollywood plastic faces

Big city rat races

I Love my country friends in southern places

Well Times have been tough

Times have been hard

The housing bubble burst in my daddy's front yard

Working for a dollar is harder it seems all the blue collar jobs are going green

So I packed up my bags and I loaded my truck

I headed to L.A. looking for some luck

Took Rodeo drive into Beverly Hills

Where stars are buying breakfast with hundred dollar bills

The models out here ain't Chevy's or Fords

Their faces plastered all over billboards

Trying to sell me something I would never own

Showing off legs and silicon

Hollywood plastic faces

Big city rat races

I Love my country friends in southern places

We drink beer by the cases

We need open spaces

I Love my country friends in southern places

We'll I miss my girl I miss my bar

Sweet tea, the SEC, NASCAR

I left California at the break of dawn

I hit Texas cranking Willie Nelson songs

In an Arkansas shake they were smoking some ribs

I grabbed my guitar

I play for the tips

I was lost before now I found my way

As I drove all around small town U.S.A

I was almost home I was almost free

I went through Alabama back home to Tennessee

Hollywood plastic faces

Big city rat races

I Love my country friends in southern places

We drink beer by the cases

We need open spaces

I Love my country friends in southern places

Well life gets you down when things go wrong

The dollar gets weak family gets strong

And if somebody tells you country has no class

Buy yourself a donkey and tell them to kiss your ass

Yah (x5)

Hollywood plastic faces

Big city rat races

I Love my country friends in southern places

We drink beer by the cases

We need open spaces

I Love my country friends in southern places(x2)
