Red Shahan
Southern Man
[Verse 1]
Goin' down, leavin' Colorado
I've been messin' around with things that I shouldn't
And I broke your heart and I wrecked your car
And I don't care
[?] I don't give a damn what you do
Call up the law, I've heard this all before
And I can taste it now, Gulf of Mexico
I'm bound
So cry to your mom and call up your daddy
I don't care

[Chorus]
Honey, you took the words right out of my mouth
Monday I'm a-leavin' and I'm headed south
Tell your friends how I ruined your life again
Windows down, the radio up, it's gonna be a good day

[Verse 2]
[?] call up all my boys
I got a story to tell, probably won't believe me
But I broke her heart and I wrecked her car
And I don't care
She put up a fight, a good one at that
But the final straw was when she asked me if I wouldn't
Wear my favorite Townes Van Zandt shirt around her friends
So I drove away with my middle finger blowing in the wind

[Chorus]
Honey, you took the words right out of my mouth
Monday I'm a-leavin' and I'm headed south
Tell your friends how I ruined your life again
Windows down, the radio up, it's gonna be a good day

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Honey, you took the words right out of my mouth
Monday I'm a-leavin' and I'm headed south
Tell your friends how I ruined your life again
Windows down, the radio up, it's gonna be a good day
