Orenda Fink - Dirty South lyrics

rate me

In a flatbed, in a trailer

You are royalty there

Among keys and their jailers

You speak the truth with open mouth

Oh to be a boy

In the dirty south

In the rec room

When the rains came

She opened her arms to you

You tried to love her well

You only ended up in jail

Oh the dirty south

Is your living hell

The trees standing

While they sharpen their blades

To cut you down

Beautiful things can come from

The dark I once said and I

Hoped that you would believe and

Rise up from the ashes but now

You've been beaten down

By the dirty south

So let's give a crown

A gold shining crown

To the dirty south

To be a boy, to be a boy

In the dirty south

To be a boy, to be a boy

In the dirty south
