Lyrics Southern Comfort - Johnny Cash
I've
been
a
thrill
seeking
rambler
And
often
came
into
this
town
But
the
thrills
were
too
high
for
my
little
sky
So
I
dug
in
and
I've
settled
down
And
I
got
a
good
job
in
Nashville
No
way
they
can
pay
me
enough
For
grindin'
up
tobacco
leaves
Making
brut
and
snuff
Southern
comfort
is
killin'
me
I'm
slowly
chokin'
in
Tennessee
I
shovel
the
snuff
until
late
afternoon
Then
I
crawl
with
the
traffic
and
I
choke
on
its
fumes
And
fall
on
the
face
when
I
get
to
my
room
Southern
comfort
is
killin'
me
I
met
a
woman
in
Nashville
For
a
while
we
were
carryin'
on
She'd
washed
snuff
out
of
my
shirts
every
night
And
keep
me
with
clean
ones
on
But
I
guess
she
got
tired
of
tobacco
At
least
of
the
regular
kind
Now
I'm
still
workin'
where
nicotine
And
memories
are
burnin'
in
my
mind
And
Southern
comfort
is
killin'
me
The
Cumberland
cannot
enhermit
each
bee
I'm
sniffin'
and
dippin'
and
livin'
alone
I
smell
funny
smoke
and
I
know
where
she's
gone
She's
in
some
other
county
now
proving
her
own
Southern
comfort
is
killin'
me
Southern
comfort
is
killin'
me
