Southern Gothic

Make sure to give this a rating! [Intro] Woo     Woo [Verse] Blackbird on the old church steeple Spanish moss hangin’ in the settin’ sun Every house house has got a Bible and a loaded gun We got preachers and politicians ’Round here it’s kinda hard to tell which one   Is gonna do more talkin’ with a crooked tongue [Pre-Chorus] This town’s got the good lord shakin’ his head Lookin’ down thinkin’ we ain’t heard a word he said A word he said [Chorus] Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here who would’ve thought it? In a town full of God-fearin’ people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night Nothin’ left to do but kneel and pray We got a church on every corner So why does heaven feel so far away? Far away (ooh) [Verse] Must be somethin’ in the muddy water Turns the whisky ’bout as sweet as sin Every drunk in town can sing a brown bag hymn Good fences make good neighbors But good neighbors make good lovers too And when your man ain’t home any man will do [Pre-Corus] This town’s got the good lord shakin’ his head Lookin’ down thinkin’ we ain’t heard a word he said A word he said [Chorus] Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here who would’ve thought it? In a town full of God-fearin’ people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night Nothin’ left to do but kneel and pray We got a church on every corner So why does heaven feel so far away? Far away (ooh) [Bridge] High on homegrown smokin’ that brimstone Mama ain’t stoppin’ poppin’ that cotton No happy ever after waitin’ on the rapture now         [Chorus] Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here who would’ve thought it? In a town full of God-fearin’ people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night Nothin’ left to do but kneel and pray We got a church on every corner So why does heaven feel so far away? Far away (ooh) [Outro]         Southern Gothic         Southern Gothic         Southern Gothic
