Citizen Cope - Southern Nights Lyrics






Southern night.
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze, not to mention the tree.
Whistling tunes that you know and love so.
Southern nights, just as good even when close your eye.
I apologize to anyone who can truly say that he has found a better way.
Feels so good, it feels so good,
It’s frightening wish I could, stop this world from fighting.

La da da da da da la da da da
La da da da da da da da da da

Southern skies. Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Its precious beauty lies just beyond the eye.
It goes running through your soul like the stories told of old.
Old man, he and his dog that walked that old hand.
Every flower touches his cold hand,
As he slowly walked by weeping willows they would cry for joy, joy.
Mystery, like there’s so many others in the trees.
Go in the night, in the southern sky.
Southern night, feels so good,
It’s frightening wish I could, stop this world from fighting.

Southern night.

  10. M.... S....

    I like this better than the origional...

  11. a.... ....

    The song was originally written by Allen Toussaint, not Glen Campbell.

  12. R.... C....

    Have you guys and gals heard the Glen Campbell original? Isn't it amazing how bad music can ruin great lyrics. Cope makes it sound like the words of a wise man!!



    R.... C....

    Rosie Carter Allen tousaint wrote this song

    R.... C....

    Bad music, Glen Campbell is 500x better than this

    i love the part about "stop this world from fighting"

  15. K.... T....

  17. J.... ....

    Just wonderful.

  18. D.... T....

    wish i could stop this world from fighting :)

  19. c.... ....

    wow - I never realized till you pointed it out Tom Reilly and me too .....but it makes me happy that he took it to heart and it is a thing of beauty...I doubt anyone else could ever do the song equal justice :)

  20. a.... s....

    how can i go looking for new cope, find it, be all pumped up!!.... and i see people debating basketball players haha... opeth btbam are sick ass bands though.. 2 of my favorites actually. But I like good music and that comes from all different genres(sp?). i feel bad for people who tie themselves to 1 certain kind of music. Music in general has declined in the last 200 years or so (maybe we use less% of our brain haha) But there are some bad ass Musicians and THIS MAN is one of them

  21. T.... R....

    cope wishes he could stop all of you from fighting, everyone got to calm down. who cares if houston20nyk dos not like the song?

  22. T.... R....

    im upset this is my favorite song on the album, its the only one he did not create. still it was made for cope!

  23. h.... ....

    You're so ignorant its sad. Your credibilty takes yet another nose dive. You woulda said that about anything I mentioned, even if it was your favorite music or athlete. It really is dumb, ignorant people like you who give Americans in general a bad name. Good luck with your life bro. Im sorry to all the people reading this argument. Im pissed at myself for stooping down to this level.

  24. B.... L....

    people like YOU ruin you tube..keep your awful criticism to yourself...Porcupine tree..Opeth?? better noise comes out of my ass on taco tuesday... when im on suicide watch throw one of those bands on to put me over the edge..P.s.Allan Houston is a B minus bball player.. Im from Chicago ... that would be like me reppin Steve Kerr really hard

  25. h.... ....

    I have such an eye for talent. You couldnt be more wrong. Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Between the Buried& Me, Rush, Neko Case, Tool, Steve Vai, DMB...I could go on and on...whats the common thread, all incredibly talented musicians. Mostly Prog Rock, but I threw in some other "well known, proven talent".....when I meet people who listen to these bands, they know music and talent. People like you ruin you tube...dont always assume a negative context!!

  26. h.... ....

    See, now after that comment, the world can agree that you have NO CLUE what you're talking about. I listen to incredible music, most of which you probably have never heard of. Its called a criticism of the new album, thats what people do on forums like these. It was an accurate opinion that thousands of people agree with. P.S. Houston was one of the deadliest shooters the NBa has ever seen, and thousands of people knowe and agree with that too....get your facts straight loser.

  27. M.... Q....

    There is such thing as an "accurate" opinion. an opinion is just that - an opinion. I'd say that this is especially true when you are speaking about someone's art. why anyone would care what you think, I have no idea. so, I see your point there. but when you say your opinion accurate, you are suggesting that your assessment is correct. For that self important, pompous comment, maybe you deserve a little negativity directed your way.

  28. C.... T....

    Precious beauty lies just beyond the eye....

  29. h.... ....

    Why would someone take offense to an honest and accurate opinion?? I love Cope, like I said, I have every album he's ever made....Im not going to lower myself to "you tube arguing" with people that cant take an opinion...trust me...Im not the only one who feels this way...

  30. k.... ....

    Go fuck yourself

  31. h.... ....

    another snooze fest.....ive got every cope album, so im allowed to say that haha....clarence greenwood rec.'s was the best....this stuff is toooo slow....

  32. C.... T....

    This is by far my favorite so far on the album, but all of them are still so great.

  33. D.... S....

    Glenn Campbell...........

  34. S.... M....

    Amazing, makes me think of summer.
