Southern Comfort

Well he's been sitting up all evening
Thinking of a song to write
But it seems fatigue and booze has dulled his mind
It's 4:00 A.M. and everyone has already said good night
But as much as he looks for a great idea
Southern comfort's all he finds

Southern comfort can't cure everything
But it sure does help a lot
'Cause when you got no song
And you feel you don't belong
Southern comfort's all you got

Oh he gets tired of racking his brain
And he goes down to the TV set
But he's seen that movie ninety times before
He tries to fall asleep but he knows that he can't quite yet
He goes back to his fourth, fifth pint
He gets it out and pours some more

Southern comfort can't cure everything
But it sure does help a lot
'Cause when you got no song
And you feel you don't belong
Southern comfort's all you got, all right

The sleepless songwriter can't remember
When's the last time he's had it good
And he thinks of giving up from time to time
But like any other determined man
He keeps going like he knows he should
He's not making a lot of money, Lord
But Southern comfort does him fine

Southern comfort can't cure everything
But it sure does help a lot
'Cause when you got no song
And you feel you don't belong
Southern comfort's all you got

Southern comfort can't cure everything
But it sure does help a lot
'Cause when you got no song
And you feel you don't belong
Southern comfort's all you got
