[Verse 1] Todays the third shift on a be a man shore But nobodys there to be surprised Well, I could call in sick but theyd know better This life, I aint the lying kind But time sure flies when Ive 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] Im on Southern time Ill take things as they come Its 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 Im on Southern time [Verse 2] The weekends here, I can see a fire rising As I pull up on the bank at [?] cabin Theres fourwheel drives and fresh moonshine Everybody knows thats where its 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] Im on Southern time Ill take things as they come Its 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 Im on Southern time [Bridge] You cant live life in a New York minute A lot of people try, and they just dont get it A little time down here, and they change their mind We take it slow and easy Things will be just fine Thats the Dixie way of life [Chorus] Im on Southern time Ill take things as they come Its 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 Were on Southern time [Outro] Southern time Southern time Southern time
