lyrics

I’m sittin’ on the porch in my rockin’ chair
My mind ain’t here, it’s God knows where
And the sun keeps a-rollin’ down the Southern sky
I got a beard & a hat & a half-warm beer
The world may stop & I really don’t care
If the sun keeps a-rollin’ down the Southern sky

I never been better, I never been worse
If I should get up, better send for the nurse
Just let the sun keep a-rollin’ down the Southern sky
I got a dog & a cat & a vacant stare
Spanish boots a worn-out pair
And the sun keeps a-rollin’ down the Southern sky

I got a fancy coat from twenty years ago
A beat suitcase & an old dirt road
And the sun keeps a-rollin’ down the Southern sky
I’m a good ol’ boy, don’t know right from wrong
Just sittin’ here rockin’ to this ol’ song
And the sun keeps a-rollin’ down the Southern sky
