Lyrics
Southern Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Southern woman finds it hard to get along
She just can't seem to get it right
Southern woman knows there must be something wrong
A different man 'most every night
But every time she tries to pack her things and go
Another problem knocks her down
Southern woman got a spirit from below
Won't let her leave this southern town
Southern woman sticks the needle in her arm
She tells herself this is the one
She takes her welfare check and runs it in her arm
She's got no food to feed her son
But food ain't cheap and money don't come easily
The boys' old man don't come around
On nighttime corners southern woman can be found
Turning tricks in southern town
Southern woman finds a bible in the road
She takes it home with her that night
Southern woman's gonna lose that heavy load
Seems she's finally seen the light
