Bowerman)                       South of Cincinnati          by Dwight Yoakam from "Guitars Cadillacs..." --------------------------------------------------------------- Intro : CHORUS : If you ever get south of Cincinnati Down where the dogwood trees grow               If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon To the home you left so long ago                 If you ever get south of the Ohio River Down where Dixieland begins               If you ever get south of Cincinnati I’ll be yours again      She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke For fourteen years she’d write each day but keep it hidden Refused to even speak his name but still she wrote Chorus At a cold gray apartment in Chicago A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin He lies there drunk but it don’t matter drunk or sober He’ll never read the words that pride won’t let her send Chorus -- Geoff Bowerman                          H : (403) 261-4927 Secretary-Treasurer Calgary Free-Net   W : (403) 292-6772
