[Lyric] Livin on Southern Time (Trent Jeffcoat)

[Verse 1]
Today's the third shift on a "be a man" shore
But nobody's there to be surprised
Well, I could call in sick but they'd know better
This life, I ain't the lying kind
But time sure flies when I've got a line
Hanging off the back of my boat
When it comes to fishing, partying, and loving
I measure time a little different than most

[Chorus]
I'm on Southern time
I'll take things as they come
It's a state of mind
Oh, yeah my clock runs by how the catfish are biting
If the sun is shining
How many beers are still in the cooler
Oh, living on Southern time
I'm on Southern time

[Verse 2]
The weekend's here, I can see a fire rising
As I pull up on the bank at [?] cabin
There's four-wheel drives and fresh moonshine
Everybody knows that's where it's happening
Where I met Amber, last September
Someone ended up way down the river
A few days later, we made it back in
And I was ready to do it all over again
[Chorus]
I'm on Southern time
I'll take things as they come
It's a state of mind
Oh, yeah my clock runs by how the catfish are biting
If the sun is shining
How many beers are still in the cooler
Oh, living on Southern time
I'm on Southern time

[Bridge]
You can't live life in a New York minute
A lot of people try, and they just don't get it
A little time down here, and they change their mind
We take it slow and easy
Things will be just fine
That's the Dixie way of life

[Chorus]
I'm on Southern time
I'll take things as they come
It's a state of mind
Oh, yeah my clock runs by how the catfish are biting
If the sun is shining
How many beers are still in the cooler
Oh, living on Southern time
We're on Southern time
[Outro]
Southern time
Southern time
Southern time
