Southern Nights -- Glen Campbell

Southern nights  Have you ever felt a southern night  Free as a breeze, not to
mention the trees Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern Nights  Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize..to any one who can truly say that he has found a better way..

Southern Skies Have you ever noticed southern skies
Well, it's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running thru your soul like the stories told of old
Old man, he and his dog that walk the old land Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by weeping willows would cry for joy. 

Feels so good  Feels so good... It's frightening... Wish I could...
Stop this world From Fighting  La Da Da Da Da Da
Mystery like this and many others in the trees Blow in the night, in the southern skies

Southern Nights They feel so good... It's frightening... Wish I could...
Stop this world From Fighting                                           (sing365)

Campbell chose to record it because it reminded him of his rural childhood in Arkansas, and his arrangement became a huge hit. Said Campbell, "My dad told me when I was a kid, 'You're having the best time of your life, and you don't even know it.' Sure enough, he was right. Now I really feel the need to go back home, float down the Missouri River, and fish for bass and crappies. It's real peaceful, and remote from things like telephones. My head is still there."                          (songhfacts)
