Southern Dream

For the first time since Katrina, I ambled west on Highway 10
And the city across the Pontchartrain greeted us like a battered old friend
At first sight she was grey and dusty brown but underneath that color scheme
She was bright as a northern man's version of an old time southern dream

I walked down to the Mississippi River, it is a place I dearly love
The sternwheeler Natchez was mute and still, locked up and all tied off
Then her whistle, oh it rang out strong again, and I watched as she raised steam
It was every bit a northern man's version of an old time southern dream

Fairhope, AL, on a sweaty Friday night
My arms around a little southern belle whose eyes were all subversive light
Well, she walked me to the dark side of the street and kissed me til I split my seams
Then she took me home and I lived my every old-time southern dream
