Dead Dogs on the highway all the way to New Orleans, Everything looks different now and nothings as it seems And the thought occurs to me, as mad hatter takes the wheel That for all the words that we exchanged we still don't know how to feel Til I cross montgomery and I lose my sense of time Just for a second I forget it all Make my way across the next state line I'm in a southern state of mind I'm in a southern state of mind Wonderin' if anyone notices how much I care to see Another street car now as the weaving sun goes down on me My southern bell, well, shes chompin' on a georgia peach And all my wildest high strung dreams appear within my reach Til I cross montgomery and I lose my sense of time Just for a second I forget it all I make my way across the next state line I'm in a southern state of mind I'm in a southern state of mind When my love goes north, And my heart goes south. When I can hear the words But I cant get them from my mouth Til I cross montgomery and I lose my sense of time Just for a second I forget it all I make my way across the next state line Well, I'm in a southern state of mind I'm in a southern state of mind I'm in a southern state..
