Southern States (The Essex Green)

I have seen the moonlight On the shoulder of the midnight road On the county fire I've been running for hours Now my feet are broke, I haven't spoke I gotta mind to pray For the people in southern states For to keep it underground For your secrets you know I've got a yearning From my head on down For the autumn around the bend For to carry over seas For the person you know I've been searching for In the city streets And I could hear the landslide When you asked to stay, I drove you away To the outer bank Since I've been counting the treetops Listen all the day for your wheels to say How could I be so wrong? For the people in southern states For to keep it underground For your secrets you know I've got a yearning From my head on down For the autumn around the bend For to carry over seas For the person you know I've been searching for In the city streets
