Lyrics:

Sweet Southern Comfort peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Misty sunrise in my hometown
Rows of cotton about knee high
Mrs. Baker down the dirt road
Still got clothes out on the line
Erwin Nichols there with Judsley
Playin' checkers at the gin
When I dream about the Southland
This is where it all begins

From Carolina down to Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy sweet home Alabama
'Roll Tide Roll'
Muddy water Mississippi
Blessed Graceland whispers to me
'Carry on, carry on'
Sweet Southern comfort, carry on

Catching catfish on the river
Chasing fireflies by the creek
Kissing Gabby Williams' sister
On the porch homecoming week

With rusted cars and weeping willows
Keeping watch out in the yard
Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie
Could be anywhere you are

In Carolina or in Georgia
Open arms are waiting for you
Louisiana
Yellow Rose of San Antone
Arkansas, Mississippi
'Old Man River' whispers to me
'Carry on, carry on'
Sweet Southern comfort, carry on

As I sit here
I'm surrounded by these priceless memories
I don't have to think about it
There's no place I'd rather be than

Carolina or in Georgia
Smell the jasmine and magnolia
Sleepy sweet home Alabama
'Roll Tide Roll'

Muddy water Mississippi
Blessed Graceland whispers to me
'Carry on, carry on'
Sweet Southern comfort
Carry on, carry on
Sweet Southern comfort
Carry on
