Southern Rock Will Never Die
[Verse 1]
We grew up on the Allman Brothers Band,
While Skynyrd toured all across the land.
Their whiskey-soaked rhythms and their soulful tunes,
Flowed over us like light from the moon.
Oh yeah.
[Verse 2]
We sang with Marshall Tucker and the Outlaws too,
We rocked to Molly Hatchett and their Southern blues
From the swamps of Lou-zee-Anna to the Georgia pines,
The sounds of the South, will forever shine.
Oh yeah.
[Chorus]
Oh, Southern rock will never die,
The echoes of the past never say goodbye,
Lead guitars still wailing to the midnight sky,
The music fills your soul and that's no lie,
And that’s why Southern Rock will never die!
[1 bar pause with guitar]
[Verse 3]
In the heart of the South, where our heroes were born,
Their music still breathes, and their legend lives on.
Their greatest songs tell of love and pain,
Each guitar duel offering a sweet refrain,.
Oh yeah.
[Verse 4]
Here’s to the ballads and stories they told,
With each passing year, worth more than gold.
Their spirit runs deep in those songs we all know,
Southern rock is alive, with a vibrant glow.
Oh yeah!
[Chorus]
Oh, Southern rock will never die,
The echoes of the past never say goodbye,
Lead guitars still wailing to the midnight sky,
The music fills your soul and that's no lie,
And that’s why Southern Rock will never die!
[1 bar pause with guitar]
[Verse 5]
We keep it alive, for those to come,
In every memory, there’s the beat of a drum.
With a nod to the past, and our hearts open wide,
Southern rock will always be our guide.
Oh yeah.
[Chorus]
Oh, Southern rock will never die,
The echoes of the past never say goodbye,
Lead guitars still wailing to the midnight sky,
The music fills your soul and that's no lie,
And that’s why Southern Rock will never die!
