Shenandoah is an American country music group founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 by Marty Raybon (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Ralph Ezell (bass guitar, backing vocals), Stan Thorn (keyboards, backing vocals), Jim Seales (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Mike McGuire (drums, background vocals). Thorn and Ezell left the band in the mid-1990s, with Rocky Thacker taking over on bass guitar; Keyboardist Stan Munsey joined the line up in 1995. The band split up in 1997 after Raybon left. Seals, Munsey and McGuire reformed the band in 2000 with lead singer Brent Lamb, who was in turn replaced by Curtis Wright and then by Jimmy Yeary. Ezell rejoined in the early 2000s, and after his 2007 death, he was replaced by Mike Folsom. more »

Well I live all alone in Chickasaw County
Way out on 109
Where the run-down barns and rusty tractors
Are covered in Kudzu vines
For eighty-five years my people raised cotton
Till granddaddy lost this land
Now we're scattered all over this end of the state
Gettin' by any way that we can
But

Under the Kudzu the mighty south lies sleeping
Dreaming of glory that slowly slipped away
On nights like this, boys, I can almost hear her weeping
Out there under the Kudzu

If you follow this hot tar road down to Jackson
You'll pass through Plantersville
That's where I worked and spent my money
Until they closed down the mill
I got real bad to drink so my sweet Samantha
Packed up her things and moved
I hear she's a qualified beautician
Workin' down in Baton Rouge
And

Under the Kudzu the mighty south lies sleeping
Dreaming of glory that slowly slipped away
On nights like this, boys, I can almost hear her weeping
Out there under the Kudzu

Guess I'll walk on over to the pit stop market
And get a six pack to drink
Lay on the cool hood of this old Camaro
And wait for the sun to sink

On night like this, boys, I swear I hear her weeping
Out there under the Kudzu
Out there under the Kudzu
