Mile Train: Music
LIFTED
(Mile Train)
November 30, 2009
David Pippin
Chorus:
I want to get lifted
Get my soul up high
I want to get shifted
Sipping on moonshine
I want to get right down
On a sweet southern bell
I want to stay above ground
I want out run hell
Living out loud like a song I can sing
I’m going to make you proud with these guitar strings
Raised on blues and that music from the south
I love that slide guitar from Mississippi Fred McDowell
Chorus
Jacksonville raised but I was Georgia bound
I love living in a small Carroll County town
A little house off the square, you know I think it’s real nice
A good looking local girl cooks for me about every night
Chorus
Uncle Bills got a farm in the hills of Tennessee
His Johnson County Blue Ribbon Squash is a sight to be seen
A good old boy served proud for his red white and blue
I’d be a better man if I could spend a day in his shoes
Chorus
Grandmother’s bible study can lift your spirit for the week
Then she’d cook you some collards, black eyed peas, sweet tea to drink
She made sure you washed your hands before you fixed your plate
For Uncle Bill desert was chocolate cocoa cola cake
Chorus
