Hot afternoon sometime in June

                           F
Sitting on the front porch waiting 
on the moon

                            C   
Talking to my neighbor next door 
                  G7
ain’t never ever very much fun

C                              
Go get my car and my guitar ride 
                        F
through town with the top down

                          C        
Maybe I could buy me some beer run 
                    G7
out and look at the farms


                     F      G7    
And they call it the south  it’s 
               C
the land of the free

            G7                     
It lost the only war it ever fought
         C
 in history

               F      G7          
But I love the south  it’s the 
         C
land of the free

                 F                 
It’s the land of hush your mouth 
  G7

                   C

                        C          
And something about her smile that 
          G7
turns you on

      C
She’s different like another world

                             F
And you can tell she’s not a New 
York girl

                        C        
And something about her kiss that 
           G7
takes you home


                        F     
But she was born in the south

                   C
And that’s home to me

               F

             G7

    C                              
But I like fall and I like spring I
                 F
 love snow and I love rain

                            C   
And there’s something about A  I 
            G7

            G7

 in history
