Lee County Comfort



Lee County Comfort (Buddy Jewell's Sweet Southern Comfort)

Manure smellin' up my hometown,
Stacks of beer cans bout knee high,
Miss Louella down the dirt road,
Dirty undies on the line

Bubba Lewis there with Roy Lee,
Drinkin' all of pappy's gin,
Reminiscing' about the southland,
Auburn's where it all begins

From Opelika down to Wire Road,
Smell the landfill and dead possum,
Sleepy Sweet home in Lee County,
Wah Ig-gul,
Muddy water, in the bathtub,
Cousin Gracie whispers to me,
Marry on, Marry on,
Sweet Southern Cousin, Marry on

Dodgin' sewage in the river,
Chasin possums by the creek,
Kissin Debbie, she's my sister,
On the lips Homecomin week

With dusty yards and weeping widows,
Junk cars all out in the yard,
Just a snapshot of downhome Auburn,
Could be anywhere you are

As I sit here I'm surrounded,
By these wothless memories,
I don't have to think about it,
This ain't no place I'd wanna be
