I wanna take you out in the field... wanna lay you down in the grass
Gonna show you love that's real... take it slow and make it last
You've been sadder than a willow gets but I'll be coming soon
And we'll just be two silhouettes making love under the moon
South bound and runnin' late on I 65
She says"You'll be here by morning sugar if the creek don't rise"
The fading light and the tired eyes they don't bother me
'Cause in an hour or two I'll be deep inside my lovely Tennessee
She'll southern comfort me... ya southern comfort
She'll southern comfort me... ya southern comfort
I've waited such a long time to come back down to her
The highway signs and the center lines, they've become a blur
I've been feeling anxious, I've been edgy and feeling mean
And I had a little trouble with a state trooper just outside Bowling Green
She'll southern comfort me... ya Southern Comfort
She'll southern comfort me... ya Southern Comfort
She's going to ease my troubled head
She's going to put my ass to bed
She'll southern comfort me... ya southern comfort
She'll southern comfort me... ya southern comfort
Ya, ya, ya she'll southern comfort me... ya southern comfort
Southern comfort me... Southern comfort me
