Ghost Ethos - Summer In The South Lyrics

Reminiscing over memories that never fleet
Honeysuckle tastes so sweet
In the shade underneath that old oak tree
Feeling that cool green grass beneath my feet
Running through the sprinkler on a 90 degree heat day
Begging for a sweet breeze to take the heat away
Mouth watering at the thought of
Sunday dinner at Grandma's house
Chicken and dumplings melting in my mouth
Just to wash it away with special water
From the old water hose
Back then we never had a worry
Riding those blue ridge roads
Bikes with no helmets
Squeezing in between mom and dad
In the old pickup, seats of worn velvet
How I love looking back on those times
Times that were much simpler then
Black, Brown, White, Gay and Straight
Summer in the South everybody played
The only sides picked were cops, robbers
Shirts or Skins
Dreaming of those days, Of times
That were so much simpler then
When we lived a Summer In The South...
When the rowdy and ruckus dies down
Pickles jars catching fireflies we chased around
Lighting the meadows as we lie down
Catching our breath, wiping blood from cuts that'll probably form scars
Counting the stars from afar
Wishing
That we never forget who we were on nights like this
Sharing a sweet tea and maybe an innocent kiss
Just a little fun between kids
Moments you wish you could capture and never miss
Till the porch light came on
And momma came screamin to git on home
Black, Brown, White, Gay or Straight
Summer in the South everybody played
The only sides picked were cops, robbers
Shirts or Skins
Dreaming of those days, Of those times
That were so much simpler then
When we lived a Summer In The South...
Never grow old, only wise
Keep that inner child at heart
Hold tight to that love and never let it go
Because those memories...
Yeah those memories
Mean more to us than they'll ever know
