Southern Call - Lyrics

Verse 1

Gather around   ->   Put down your pistols

Lend me your ears    ->   at the cusp of the night

Sinners, be gone   ->    and the cigarettes, ashtrays

Here comes the blessing

There he was   ->   asleep in his armchair

Weathered & worn   ->   Like the legend he was

Nursing the buzz   ->   his old woman gave him

Handing out the lessons


Chorus

Stop, Think

Pick up the pace, let em know that you mean business

Watch

Without batting an eye

Talk, Keep

Singing the songs yo' momma told, when you was younger

And Wait

For the double-entendre

Verse 2

Walking alone   ->   where's he going

Keep'in eye on me   ->   and four other guys

Dressed in disguise   ->   like a comfortable warning

Prepped for the dirt & grime

Now we're talkin' shit   ->   In our Sunday best

A figure of speech   ->   like a shot to the eye

And the summer heat   ->   Turns cold come morning

Runnin' streets, pickin' fights

--- CHORUS ---

--- Bridge ---

Save your lies

For towns that you've been through, sounds you can sing to

Brave the sky

Down with the old rule, bound to a new fool

Verse 3

Caution, Please   ->   There's wars ahead

Who ya with?   ->   What's your side?

Wild vibes   ->   Counting the dead

Side by each, both gonna try

So pack your bags   ->   Run, dont walk

Pain runs deep   ->   When you're left to die

And the county seat   ->   Stays unspoken

Out of sight, out of mind

--- CHORUS --- 

--- Bridge ---
