Southern Comfort

Right next door to the airport
An hour from Baton Rouge
There's a city on the Delta
Where they love to sing the blues
A lady there I'm certain
She can make a man of you, yeah

There's a pretty little crucifix
That hangs above her bed
The bottle she holds sacred
'Cause it helps her to forget
But Jesus saves and liquor knows
That don't pay the rent
She knows what you're lookin' for
And she can give to you

And the mirror is an enemy
It never tells the truth
It used to be a good friend
That she never thought she'd lose
Till it captured all over her innocence
And stole away her youth, yeah
All right
She knows what you're lookin' for
And she can give it to you

So if you want some Southern Comfort
Come and get it boy, yeah
Once you taste of Southern Comfort
Oh, you'll be back for more
And with her lovin' touch
It won't take too much time to set you free
A little Southern Comfort's all you need
Oh its all you need

And a thousand people have walked your stairs
To knock upon your door
Each one brand new cross to bear
Each one harder than the one before
And I, bet you wished for something else
I bet you wished for a whole lot more

So if you want some Southern Comfort
Come and get it boy, yeah
Once you taste of Southern Comfort
Ooh you'll be back for more, and
With her lovin' touch
It won't take too much time to set you free
A little Southern Comfort's all you need
