Hot afternoon sometime in June
F
Sitting on the front porch waiting on the moon
C
G7
Talking to my neighbor next door ain´t never ever very much fun
C
F
Go get my car and my guitar ride through town with the top down
C
G7
Maybe I could buy me some beer run out and look at the farms
F
G7
C
And they call it the south it´s the land of the free
G7
C
It lost the only war it ever fought in history
F
G7
C
But I love the south it´s the land of the free
F
G7
It´s the land of hush your mouth and Joe South
C
And that´s home to me
F
She was born in ´52 she finished in a Mississippi school
C
G7
And something about her smile that turns you on
C
She´s different like another world
F
And you can tell she´s not a New York girl
C
G7
And something about her kiss that takes you home
F
G7
C
But she was born in the south Memphis Tennessee
G7
C
She was rich in looks from a poor Memphis family
F
G7
C
But she will stay in the south it´s the land of the free
F
G7
It´s the land of hush your mouth and Joe South
C
And that´s home to me
F
California I love you your hills are high and your oceans blue
C
G7
In LA there´s always something to do and you´re never alone
C
F
But I like fall and I like spring I love snow and I love rain
C
G7
And there´s something about LA I can´t call home
F
G7
C
I guess I´ll stay in the south it´s the land of the free
G7
C
It lost the only war it ever fought in history
F
G7
C
But I love the south it´s the land of the free
F
G7
It´s the land of hush your mouth Joe South
C
And that´s home to me
F
G7

And they call it the south it´s the land of the free
G7

It lost the only war it ever fought in history
