Styx - Southern Woman lyrics

rate me

Written by James Young, Raymond Brandle

Lead vocals by James Young

first met you in a southern town

on a warm November day

you made me smoke like a whirlwind

I knew we had nothing to say

love me but don't try and make me stay

southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

[guitar solo]

once again in the early spring

I touched your raven's crown

your wild eyed stories of rare delight

like to knock me down

it's getting so damn hard to put you down

southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

[instrumental solos]

southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

southern woman

yeah
