Southern Politician

Lyrics

Momma had such high hopes for her favourite son He'd be an evangelist of God or maybe even president He was such the diplomat with so much southern charm But when he growed up he outgrowed all his friends He was a southern politician a political man He sips mint juleps on evenings so warm He converses with the devil who wears a hat made of straw Saying "A smart-assed northern liberal was something I never could stand" While they might takе an inch he takes all he can Hе's a southern politician a political man He's a southern politician set on winning this here election Inside his big white plantation All the liquor and women that money can buy All the liquor and women that money can buy The folks down here believe in his cause His hands are clean ans his vest pockets the law 'Cos his brother the sheriff is head of the klan Well the states locked up tight in the palm of his hand He's a southern politician a political man All round the big house painted white An electrical fence that's strung with barbed wire He's got guard dogs, shot guns and homemade pecan pie Friends come to swim he gets a tan He's a southern politician a political man He's a southern politician man set on winning this here election Inside his big white plantation All the liquor and women that money can buy All the liquor and women that money can buy There's cocktail parties every night Now his wife she don't love him but don't pay her no mind The smell of sweet gardenias always fill the air Well they've black bodies floating in the bayou down there He's a southern politician a political man He's kissing babies at campaign time He's making promises like they're going out of style Loves every woman child and American man Says he's religious just a God-fearing man He's a southern politician a political man He's a southern politician Set on winning this here election Inside his big white plantation All the liquor and women that money can buy All the liquor and women that money can buy
