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..
