The Southern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But It's Alright Now
You still got no answer why, and it hurt to the bone
But It's Alright Now
You close your eyes, don't say a word, leaving this fairytale untold
It comes with a prise, lines gettin' blurred, dreams being shattered life's on hold
But It's Alright Now, yeah It's Alright Now
You stare at the telephone, you toss and you turn
But It's Alright Now
You close your eyes, don't say a word, leaving this fairytale untold
It comes with a prise, lines gettin' blurred, dreams being shattered life's on hold
Thinking, she got the best of me, I'm stuck with the rest of me
But It's Alright Now, yeah It's Alright Now
But It's Alright Now, yeah It's Alright Now
You close your eyes, don't say a word, leaving this fairytale untold
It comes with a prise, lines gettin' blurred, dreams being shattered life's on hold
Thinking, she got the best of me, I'm stuck with the rest of me
She got the best of me,
But It's Alright Now, yeah It's Alright Now
But It's Alright Now, yeah It's Alright Now...
In The Southern's song Do It Now, the lyrics tell the story of someone who is reminiscing about the city of New Orleans, and the intense emotional pull that it still has on them. The first verse sets the scene, as the singer pines for the city night and day, feeling a growing sense of longing for the place. The second stanza paints a picture of the city's unique natural beauty, with its mossy vines and tall sugar pines, and the sound of mockingbirds singing. The singer longs to see the old Mississippi River, which rushes into Spring with haste.
The chorus captures the essence of the song, as the singer asks if the listener understands the powerful emotions that come with missing New Orleans, particularly when it's the place where you left your heart. The singer also alludes to a lost love, whom they miss more than the city itself. The final stanza brings to mind the sweet and sultry atmosphere of New Orleans, with the moonlight on the bayou, a Creole tune in the air, and magnolias blooming. It's a heartfelt tribute to a city that remains a powerful presence in the singer's life, even when they are far away.

I went away to schools outside of Alabama when I was 14 years old. And I had a few years of speech therapy because of my stutter.
I always get the "where is your accent" question when tell people I am from Alabama. I always assumed that it was gone.
One day my college roommate answered the phone when my dad called. He said that it took him a minute to realize what he was saying because his accent was so thick.
After I hung up, I realized that my roommate was staring at me with his mouth wide open. All he said was that I really was from Alabama.
Apparently, I only slip into my accent when I am talking to my parents. Which makes sense. I always felt like I was six again when we spoke. (Six was a very good year for me).

“Bless her heart” killed me because my great grandma used to say that ALL the time, usually directly after roasting someone.

That is the proper use of the term -- a little bit of salve to cover the disastrous burn just delivered.

Everybody in the south knows we don't have sweet tea, we have tea-flavored sugar XD

Millennial Caveman
Truth. Although, since I cut down on soda (what used to be just cokecola, no space) I’ve found some teas to be too sweet, and need to half set half unsweet.
