I Dream In Southern

|G  |Em  |Am7  |G  |


[Verse 1]
            G                     Em
Some people dream of what they may be
               Am7               D
Where they may go, what they may see
             G              Em
Just down the road around the bend
        Am7
Oh, but me, I dream of where I've already been


[Chorus]
           G
I dream in blue jeans, ol' Fords
Em
Box fans, back porch
Am7                       D
Cotton growin' up to your knees
           G
I dream in Mississipi moon pies
Em
Mason Jars, Fireflies
Am7                       D
William Faulkner, ol' New Orleans
         G                  G7
The only Paris for me is in West Tennessee
       C                       Am7
If I'm never any other when I lay down to sleep
            G
I dream in Houndstooth, Church pews
Em                                Am7    D
Rural roots, you'll never outrun 'em
           G
I dream in Southern


[Verse 2]
             G              Em
I've hung my hat in so many places
              Am7                D                         G
I've seen the beauty in so many faces that don't feel like home
           Em
But that's alright
        Am7                   D
'Cause every time I close my eyes


[Chorus]
           G
I dream in Blue Bell ice cream
Em
Momma calling through the screen
Am7                     D
Suppers almost ready to eat
           G
I dream in football, Graceland
Em                  Am7                     D
Barbecue and Alabama sand slippin' under my feet
      G                      G7
If I can't spend my time in sweet Carolina
      C                            Am7
Don't take too long 'fore Georgia's back on my mind
           G
I dream in symphonies of trains and crickets
Em                             Am7               D
Where it's always Christmas or summer (Yeah, Yeah)
           G
I dream in Southern


[Bridge]
           Bm          C
They say you can't go back
           Bm          D
But I can always come back


[Chorus]
           G
I dream in blue jeans, ol' Fords
Em
Box fans, back porch
Am7                       D
Cotton growin' up to your knees
           G
I dream in Mississipi moon pies
Em
Mason Jars, Fireflies
Am7                       D
William Faulkner, ol' New Orleans
         G                  G7
The only Paris for me is in West Tennessee
        C                     Am7
If I'm never any other when I lay down to sleep
            G
I dream in Houndstooth, Church pews
Em                                Am7    D
Rural roots, you'll never outrun 'em
           G        Em
I dream in Southern


[Outro]
   Am7   D
Oh yeah
           G         Em  Am7  D  G
I dream in Southern
