All my life it’s been haunting me, it’s in my blood and it fills my dreams
but I'm not afraid of livin’ anymore
Hopped a flight down to PCB like some kinda redneck refugee
Knew my life would change, as I stood upon that golden shore..Cause
This is my paradise lazy days and summer nights
Kickin’ back, There ain’t nothing any better than this life
Variety’s the spice of life, change it up, take a bite
I’m packing up my stuff, heading for a Southern Paradise.
Almost froze to death in Idaho, it was still too cold in New Mexico
Almost drowned in my own sweat in Tennessee
Now my beer’s ice cold and the girls are hot, it’s the perfect place, just the right spot
Not goin’ back to the cold, My blood’s too thin, Now I’m free!...cause
This is my paradise lazy days and summer nights
Kickin back, There ain’t nothing any better than this life
Variety’s the spice of life, change it up, take a bite
I’m packing up my stuff, heading for a Southern Paradise.
