Southern Life (What It Must Be Like) lyrics

All my life, I closed my eyes And stumbled in with wayward mind A stubborn child, but love did have With one light shining Overlooked I wish I knew what you had said I was hardened by what thoughts you meant My hands are shaking as a mother Trying to raise her son right Why can't you see it from the other side? We must imagine what it must be like The southern life It's such a fucking lie Oh, what it must be like Shall his life be like my shooting star Forever frozen? No, he's too smart I can't believe what I have seen I wake up to a fucking dream There is no light There is no dark There is no life Or sense of being Oh, what it must be like Oh, what it must be like Such a southern life Such a southern life Oh, what it must be like Oh, what it must be like Oh, what it must be like Oh, what it must be like
