Quiet in the South Lyrics

Lyrics from live debut at Stagecoach

[Verse 1]

Red wine on the table, dripping candle wax

Listening to angels from our old record scratch

Bet you're down at Layla's smoking at the bar

Hope nobody's on the road when you get in your car

[Chorus]

Ooh, are you coming home tonight?

Should I turn off the light or burn down your house?

Ooh, are you coming home tonight?

It's getting awfully quiet in the south

[Verse 2]

When you don't know anybody in your way out in the woods

Things don't always turn out like I want or thought they should

But I'm no stranger to a disappointing end

I'm not trying to sound bitter like the fruit that you're drinking

[Chorus]

Ooh, are you coming home tonight?

Should I turn off the light or burn down our house?

Ooh, are you coming homе tonight?

It's getting awfully quiet in the south

[Bridge]

I guеss I'm just stuck in, that's what happens when

Someone or another's 'bout to do dumb shit again

These rocks aren't skipping like my heart still beats for you

Guess that's what I call up when they call me crazy cool

Feet up on the back porch, the wind's blowing through

I'm staring at the propane, like, what's a girl to do?

[Chorus]

Are you coming home tonight?

Should I turn on the light or burn down the house?

Ooh, are you coming home tonight?

It's getting awfully quiet in the south
