South of the River - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Wake that thing up and put some clothes around it

You lost your prescription I found it

You need some good rocking nothing painful

Like my friends the heathens and black angels

It's a good night for rocking south of the river

It's a good night for rocking with a band that delivers

It's a good night for rocking deep in the south

It's a good night for rocking putting something in your mouth

Aw child you shoulda heard the james gang rides again

It was like shooting salvation and funk into your soul back then

There's some homicidal bands that still rock like that

They'll cut your throat with bass drums les pauls and strats

It's a good night for rocking south of the river

It's a good night for rocking with a band that delivers

It's a good night for rocking deep in the south

It's a good night for rocking putting something in your mouth

Wake that thing up and make sure it's bleeding

The tubes are warmed up and I got what you're needing

Now there's some risk seeing we dress like thieves

We are among the righteous the ones who believe

It's a good night for rocking south of the river

It's a good night for rocking with a band that delivers

It's a good night for rocking deep in the south

It's a good night for rocking putting something in your mouth

It's a good night for rocking south of the river

It's a good night for rocking with a band that delivers

It's a good night for rocking deep in the south

It's a good night for rocking putting something in your mouth
