October 31, 200322 yr For Furman...Here is a song he might enjoy.... Sweet Southern Comfort by: Buddy Jewell Misty sunrise in my hometown, Rows of cotton bout knee high, Mrs. Baker down the dirt road, Still got clothes out on the line, Erwin Nichols there with Judge Lee, Playin checkers at the gin, When I dream about the southland, This is where it all begins From Carolina down to Georgia, Smell the jasmine and magnollia, Sleepy Sweet home Alabama, Roll tide roll, Muddy water, Misssissippi, Blessed Graceland whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on, Catchin catfish on the river, Chasin fireflies by the creek, Kissin Debbie Williams sister, On the porch Homecommin week, With rusty cars and weeping willows, Keepin watch out in the yard, Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie, Could be anywhere you are, In Carolina or in Georgia, Open arms are waitin for ya, Louisianna yellow rose of San Antone, Arkansas, Mississippi, Old man river whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on, As I sit here I'm surrounded, By these priceless memories, I don't have to think about it, There's no place I'd rather be, In Carolina or in Georgia, Smell the jasmine and magnollia, Sleepy Sweet home Alabama, Roll tide roll, Muddy water, Misssissippi, Blessed Graceland whispers to me, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort, Carry on, Carry on, Sweet Southern Comfort carry on
May 5, 200422 yr It's an upbeat song but I'm kind of wondering why Virginia was left out? All the other Southern states were on there. Other than that it's a great song.
June 20, 200620 yr I also don't understand why Virginia isn't mentioned in that song. I'm from Virginia, and we are as southern as they come. I can't listen to that song without being slightly peeved at Buddy Jewel. Virginia was the capitol of the Confederacy after all!

Glad to see we have another Virginian here! :thumbup
