Misty sunrise in my hometown Rows of cotton 'bout knee high Mrs. Baker down the dirt road Still got clothes out on the line Irwin Nichols there with Judge Lee Playin' checkers at the gin When I dream about the southland This is where it all begins (from) Carolina down to Georgia Smell the jasmine and magnolia Sleepy sweet home Alabama Roll tide roll Muddy water Mississippi Blessed Graceland whispers to me Carry on, carry on Sweet southern comfort, carry on Catching catfish on the river Chasing fireflies by the creek Kissing Gary William's sister On the porch Home Coming week With rusty cars and weeping willows Keepin' watch out in the yard Just a snapshot of down home Dixie Could be anywhere you are (in) Carolina down to Georgia Smell the jasmine and magnolia Sleepy sweet home Alabama Roll tide roll Muddy water Mississippi Blessed Graceland whispers to me Carry on, carry on Sweet southern comfort, carry on As I sit here, I'm surrounded By these priceless memories I don't have to think about it There's no place I'd rather be (than) Carolina down to Georgia Smell the jasmine and magnolia Sleepy sweet home Alabama Roll tide roll Muddy water Mississippi Blessed Graceland whispers to me Carry on, carry on Sweet southern comfort, carry on
