Speed of the South

[Verse 1]
I can't write like William Faulkner
I can't sing like Shelby Lynne
And if you show up talking southern
Brother, they won't let you in

[Verse 2]
Like a man without a country
Like a king without a crown
'Cause these kids don't give a damn about
How they drove old Dixie down

[Chorus]
And I feel like a rock with nowhere to roll
But I've come too far to sell my soul
And everybody moves at the speed of light
And I barely get around
Moving at the speed of the south

[Verse 3]
Might help me out to smooth my edges
What would it hurt to try to fit in?
Well, it might be fun if I let it
Oh, there I go again

[Chorus]
And I feel likе a rock with nowhere to roll
But I've comе too far to sell my soul
And everybody moves at the speed of light
And I barely get around
Moving at the speed of the south

[Bridge]
I never thought I'd be an afterthought
Hard as I fought to find my place
After all this time, it ain't hard to find
The lines on my face

[Chorus]
I feel like a rock with nowhere to roll
But I've come too far to sell my soul
When everybody moves at the speed of light
And I barely get around
Moving at the speed of the south
Moving at the speed of the south
