23 Degrees And South Lyrics

23 Degrees And South
Ride the river down to the mouth
This crazy life I can do without
Long as you're here with me
Catch a wave and ride the crest
Hang ten and hook it to the west
Sell it all til' there's nothing left
Long as you're here with me

Gonna play this old guitar
For beer and tips at a beachside bar
Little out of key, we'll sing it loud
Don't need a map to get us where we're going
Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
Rediscover what our love is all about
You and me and 23 degrees south

Remember me, remember you
All those crazy things we said we'd do
We got so lost and out of the blue
Dreams just slip away
But I'm still here and you're my girl
Still you and me against the world
Pack a bag and pack it light
Come on baby, we can leave tonight

Gonna play this old guitar
For beer and tips at a beachside bar
Little out of key, we'll sing it loud
Don't need a map to get us where we're going
Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
Rediscover what our love is all about
You and me and 23 degrees south

Play songs on this guitar
We'll get back to who we are
Fall like shooting stars that don't burn out
Don't need a map to get us where we're going
Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
Remember what our love is all about
You and me and 23 degrees south, mm, hmm

Well, come on baby, pack it light, mm, hmm
23 degrees south, oh yeah

23 Degrees And South

Currington said that this poetic Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey and Gordie Sampson penned tune sounds like a song that he could have written because it's so much about him. "It's about Key West and I go there quite often," he explained. "I've spent so many days in the sunshine down there fishing and spear fishing, paddle boarding and just being a part of Key West. Everything about '23 Degrees and South' explains my life and down there."

Hard To Be A Hippie Lyrics

It used to be that
You could up and thumb a ride from Nashville to L.A.
And everyone who stopped and picked you up
Would get you high along the way

And it used to be that
You could fall in and out of love in an afternoon
And then fall again that evening
And not think that it was happening too soon

But it's Hard To Be A Hippie anymore
It hurts more now
Waking up on the floor
Oh, it's still free
But it ain't easy like before
It's hard to be a hippie anymore

Fire it up boys

It used to be just walking down the street
Would make the people stop and stare
Now all the cowboys and the preppies
And the rednecks and the yuppies have long hair

But I was always going places
In my head and seeing things that blew my mind
Now the only thing I'm trippin' on
Are my own two feet, trying to keep up with the times
Ah yeah, you know that's right

But it's hard to be a hippie anymore
It hurts more now
Waking up on the floor
Oh, it's still free
But it ain't easy like before
It's hard to be a hippie anymore

Lord, it's still free
But it ain't easy like before
It's hard to be a hippie anymore

Hard To Be A Hippie

This Deanna Bryant, Scotty Emerick , John Scott Sherrill penned fun tune finds Currington duetting with Country legend Willie Nelson. The singer first discovered the playful song when he was surfing YouTube and ran across an acoustic performance by his buddy Scotty Emerick. "I saw the great fan reaction and it's a song I couldn't get out of my head," said Currington. "I called him up and I'm like, 'Man, you've got to send me that Hippie song.'"

"My first thought when I was listening to the demo was this would be perfect to record with Willie Nelson," he continued. "I mentioned it to Scotty and he's like 'Well I know Willie pretty good' so he mentioned it to Willie and I ended up meeting Willie on his bus one afternoon. We played it for him and he was in. We went to Texas and recorded his vocal and that's how 'Hard to Be a Hippie' came about."
