Southern Politician Songtext / Lyric

DeVille



Momma had such high hopes for her favorite sun

He'd be an evangelist of God or maybe even president

He was such a diplomat with so mush southern charm

But when he grow 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 take an inch, he takes all that he can

He's a southern politician, a political man.



He's a southern politician set on winning these 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 and his vest pockets the law

'Cause 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 set on winning these 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

And 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 set on winning these 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.



He's a southern politician, a political man

He's a southern politician, a political man

He's a southern politician, a political man

Oh he's a southern politician, a political man

Ooh he's a southern politician, a political man

Yes sir, He's a southern politician, a political man

Yes sir, He's a southern politician, a political man

Ah-ah-ah-ah .
