I sit here thinkin' about those days I wouldn't change a thing about my life today Ain't it funny how time sure flies 'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed WAS YOU Take me back to my southern ways Where I can be myself and live another day Take me back to my southern ways Where the tall pines blow and the St. John's flows, and only God - he knows, and those southern winds kiss my face (Song written by ex-Marilyn Manson and current Rob Zombie guitarist John5.
