Southern Nights Lyrics
Southern Nights Have You Ever Felt A
Southern Night Free As A Breeze
Not To Mention The Trees
Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So
Southern Nights Just As Good Even When
Closed Your Eyes I Apologize
To Any One Who Can Truly Say
He Has Found A Better Way
(Feel So Good Feel So Good It's Frightening)
(Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting)
(La Da Da Da Da Da La Da Da Da Da Da)
(Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da)
(Mysteries Like This And Many Others
(In The Trees Blow In The Night
(In The Southern Skies
Southern Skies Have You Ever Noticed
Southern Skies It's Precious Beauty
Lies Just Beyond The Eye
It Goes Running Thru Your Soul Like The Stories Of Old
Old Man He And His Dog They Walk The Old Land
Every Flower Touched His Cold Hand
As He Slowly Walked By
Weeping Willows Would Cry For Joy
Southern Night Free As A Breeze
Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So
Closed Your Eyes I Apologize
To Any One Who Can Truly Say
He Has Found A Better Way
(Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting)
(La Da Da Da Da Da La Da Da Da Da Da)
(Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da)
(Mysteries Like This And Many Others
(In The Trees Blow In The Night
(In The Southern Skies
Southern Skies It's Precious Beauty
Lies Just Beyond The Eye
It Goes Running Thru Your Soul Like The Stories Of Old
Every Flower Touched His Cold Hand
As He Slowly Walked By
Weeping Willows Would Cry For Joy

Very popular song during 1977. The lyrics however are ADHD: the song starts out asking the listener to imagine sultry Deep South nights, but then detours to a strange story about a magical old man, and then pleads for world peace. As a preteen listening to this song on the radio, I didn't get what Glenn Campbell was getting at, and today, as an adult, I still don't.
Scatman Crothers and world peace?
To do with the South? Er, what? OK...
This was a cover song for Campbell, and it was a major hit for him in 1977. Has a cool summer feel and puts you in a good mood.
