Amos Lee - Southern Girl Lyrics






Farewell my sweet
Well the time that was coming
The road has begun to move beneath my feet
Good things come to an end
Well I hope through the pain
The heartache and strain we can still remain friends

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl

You're a soft melody
Well I swear that I heard
From a lost mockingbird stuck up in a tree
We got a lot going on
Even though I'm not here
Please don't shed any tears for me day when I'm gone

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl

I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only in your mind
Girl, I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only a matter of time

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern
Something about a southern girl

  13. B.... Y....

    Brilliant

  14. K.... D....

    I have been following his music for years... His music is so soulful, and his lyrics are so meaningful... I live in Mass and years ago he used to play at the Charles Play house in Boston. . I wish I saw him then.. I have to see him live really soon. Love his music.. And he's so sexy in his own soulful way.... just saying... lol

    K.... D....

  15. P.... B....

    Amos is the man, love his songs and his words, he belongs to me! love  you Amos so much. Your the best!

  16. R.... O....

    Listening in May 2016

  17. M.... C....

    This is good music...... I really like this song.......

  18. M.... J....

    His music is everything I love about country music without everything I hate about country music.

    M.... J....

    Michael Jantzen i

    M.... J....

    ashtommasi. Actually I believe you’re the one who misinterpreted his words. Michael implied it was country music by stating “His music is everything I love about country music”. It was quite clear what he meant. He probably thinks it sounds like country music because of Amos’ accent and this song kinda has a country feel to it.

    M.... J....

    Warrior and King of the Multiverse! Who Cares! Isn't that the beauty of music? It's art. It's interpretation is individual.

    M.... J....

    matthew smith Some people care, just because you don’t care. Why should no one else care. You don’t have to care if you want but you can’t stop others from caring!😄I was simply correcting ashtommasi’s comment, which to me wasn’t an accurate interpretation of Michael’s comment. Singing one song that sounds like country music, doesn’t mean all his music is country. The majority of his songs don’t sound like country music, so it’s incorrect and not accurate to think his “music is everything I love about country”. Yes music is beautiful and is a form of art but genres are not subjective interpretations. They have specific definitions and sounds. If anyone asked Amos what type of genre and music he sings. He’s not going to say he sings country music and is a country singer.

    M.... J....

    ​@LesbianTrapped InAMan’sBody "He probably thinks it sounds like country music because of Amos’ accent and this song kinda has a country feel to it." But it doesn't even have a country feel to it. The chord progression, rhythm, melody, instrumentation, vocal, etc. -- none of it is even remotely country. It's basically pop R&B. The lyrics could be adapted for a country song, but that's about as far as it goes.

  19. h.... ....

    Awesome. !!

My favorite thing to get at McDonald's is a Double Quarter Pounder on a regular bun no sesame seeds. This song is always relate to a McDonalds with an indoor PlayPlace because I love this song and a McDonalds with an indoor PlayPlace but I hate Deedee's laugh from Dexter's Laboratory because it is annoying.

    @bryant3455
    I'm so sorry for your loss. Sibling loss is a different heartache from losing a parent.
    I lost my dad in April of '07 and my sister 3 weeks later to a stroke. We buried her the day before Mothers' Day - 4 wks to the day after my dad. Both losses were totally unexpected. Someone had the nerve to say to me "At least you can get your grieving done at one time."
    To this day, it might not be "grief", but the heartache is still there... God bless you.

  56. B.... S....

    @bryant3455 i'm also so sorry for your loss and your pain

  57. R.... P....

    @bryant3455 Sweetie..sadly he didn't sing this song...but I thought of you...I did try to get a chance to speak with him after about your story...but he was 'mobbed'...:( But I"m going to post some new video's in a few...:) I'm so sorry it didn't happen...:(

  58. R.... P....

    @bryant3455 no words could offer comfort...but a stranger has been touched by your post...:( I am going to see Amos on Monday in NYC...if he sings this song...I will raise my hands in honor of your sweet sister during the song..Melanie...and if I am honored enough to be able to speak to him before/after...I will tell him your story...Love your way...
    Rebecca...
