Save the Southland

Somebody come and save the Southland

I'm afraid she's bleedin' dry

She wasn't ready for the strong hand

Came and turned the hand of time

Don't you shed another tear my dear

Keep your head up in the sky

Everybody's losing hope down here and the whole towns barely getting by

Dam broke down by the creek and the waters on the rise

Hope you're livin' well, hope you're living good

Hope your heart went wild any time it could

Now climb down off the cross we need the wood

It all goes down in the wash if you really wash it good

Honey tell me I'm a good man

I don't need another trial

Maybe running was a bad plan

Every inch was like a mile

Paranoia is wearing high heels

Runnin' round like she's the queen

Everybody's losing hope down here and the whole towns getting mean

The wood caught fire by the well and the flames are getting high

Hope you're livin' well, hope you're living good

Hope your heart went wild any time it could

Now climb down off the cross we need the wood

It all goes up in smoke if you really burn it good

It all goes up in smoke if you really burn it good
