South of Cincinnati
by Dwight Yoakam, from "Guitars, Cadillacs..."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Intro :
CHORUS :
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
/E
Down where the dogwood trees grow
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon
/E
To the home you left so long ago
If you ever get south of the Ohio River
/E
Down where Dixieland begins
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
I'll be yours again
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep it hidden
Refused to even speak his name but still she wrote
Chorus
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk or sober
He'll never read the words that pride won't let her send
Chorus
