All my life I closed my eyes
And stumbled in with wayward mind
A stubborn child, but love did have
With one light shining
Overlooked

Oh I wish I knew what you had said
I was hardened by what thoughts you meant

My hands are shaking as a mother
Trying to raise her son right

Why can't you see it from the other side
We must imagine what it must be like

Ooh, the southern life
Ooh, it's such a fucking lie

Oh what it must be like

Shall his life be like my shooting star
forever frozen?
No - he's too smart

I can't believe what I have seen
I wake up to a fucking dream

There is no light
There is no dark
There is no life
Or sense of being

Oh what it must be like
Oh what it must be like

Such a southern life
Such a southern life

Oh what it must be like
Oh what it must be like
Oh what it must be like
Oh what it must be like
