Southern Ambition

DAY TO DAY LIFE IN THE CITY
IS GETTING THIS COUNTRY BOY DOWN
NOW I AIN’T LOOKIN’ FOR PITY
I  JUST GOT TO LAY MY BURDENS DOWN
I GOT TO GET BACK TO THE COUNTRY
WEEPIN’ WILLOWS AND MAGNOLIA TREES
I GOT TO GET BACK TO THE SOUTH LAND
AND TAKE A WALK IN THAT SWEET SOUTHERN BREEZE

IT’S MY SOUTHERN AMBITION KEEN INTUITION
DETERMINATION AND DRIVE
IT’S MY SOUTHERN AMBITION WITH NO INHIBITION
THAT’S GONNA HELP ME SURVIVE

WORKIN’ EVERYDAY FOR A LIVING
NEVER GONNA GET ANYWHERE
I’M TIRED OF GIVIN’ AND GIVIN’
SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T CARE
DEPRESSION SOMETIMES SURROUNDS ME
SOMETIMES IT GETS OUT OF HAND
BUT YOU’LL ALWAYS SEE ME SMILING
WHEN I SING COUNTRY SONGS WITH THE BAND

IT’S MY SOUTHERN AMBITION, KEEN INTUITION
DETERMINATION AND DRIVE
MY SOUTHERN AMBITION WITH NO INHIBITION
THAT’S GONNA HELP ME SURVIVE

WHEN WE’RE ON STAGE IT’S A PARTY
WE ALL HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME
SINGING OUR SONGS LOUD AND HEARTY
DRINKIN’ BEER, JACK DANIEL’S OR WINE
MUSIC IS WHAT KEEPS US GOING
MUSIC IS WHAT KEEPS US ALIVE
AS LONG AS WE CAN PLAY OUR MUSIC
HELL’ I KNOW THAT WE ARE GONNA SURVIVE

IT’S MY SOUTHERN AMBITION KEEN INTUITION
DETERMINATION AND DRIVE
IT’S MY SOUTHERN AMBITION WITH NO INHIBITION
THAT’S GONNA HELP ME SURVIVE
