    Default Help Needed - Lyrics to "Southern Bound" and "Can't Stop Now"

    As those who have visited Don Felder Online know, I've transcribed what I think he's singing in the two tracks "Southern Bound" and "Can't Stop Now." However, there are parts where I'm pretty sure I got the lyrics wrong, especially in "Southern Bound." Now that the tracks are available for download on [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Road-To-Forever-Extended-Edition/dp/B00HDZSA98/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&sr=1-1&keywords=road+to+forever"]Amazon.com[/ame] and iTunes, I figure some fans here will be downloading them.

    I ask anyone who does so to check my lyrics transcription against what you hear and make any suggestions for what you think I might have wrong.

    My lyrics transcription for Southern Bound:

    Crystal blue skies, beaches so white
    Million stars hanging in the heavens each night
    Lots of slow-movin' women that'll treat you so right
    Long legs chillin' within easy eyesight

    Kicks into your blood, winds up to your brain
    Like naked ladies dancin' in warm summer rains
    Time for a kiss, and a tan so brown
    I think I'm finally
    Southern bound

    You'll be sure to find me where everybody knows
    I'll be deep down in Dixie where it never, ever snows
    Sunbathing now, warm waves lickin' my toes
    Blowin' magic smoke rings in the magnolia grove

    I can hear it calling me on a honey-suckle breeze
    Lazy in a trance under moss-covered trees
    Gonna back off of the throttle, slow it all down
    I think I'm finally
    Southern bound

    I can hear it calling me on a honey-suckle breeze
    Lazy in a trance under moss-covered trees
    Gonna back off of the throttle, slow it all down
    I think I'm finally
    Southern bound

    Southern bound
    ]Backin' back down to Dixie
    Just backin' back
    Southern bound

    Southern bound


    ]My lyrics transcription for Can't Stop Now:

    I've been waiting, waiting for so long
    To show you how I feel
    You've been wanting, wanting to show me
    Show me your love is real

    Every time you get real close
    You whisper in my ear
    "Open up, baby; I love you the most"
    But our future doesn't seem too clear

    I've been lovin' you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
    I've been lovin' you for so long
    Can't stop now

    I've been dreaming, dreaming 'bout you and me
    Yeah, you and me - we came on this road together
    You've been hoping, hoping we could finally
    Yeah, finally stand on steady ground

    Oh, our passion can simmer and burn
    But you still just have to believe
    That this is gonna turn out right
    But if won't if you decide to leave

    I've been lovin' you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
    I've been lovin' you for so long
    Can't stop now

    I know that this dream must seem so far away
    Just hold me real tight and it will come back to us someday
    Yeah

    I've been lovin' you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
    I've been lovin' you for so long
    Can't stop now

    I've been lovin' you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
    I've been lovin' you for so long
    Can't stop now

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    Mystery solved! The new Road to Forever Extended Edition contains lyrics to the "new" songs!

    Southern Bound:


    Crystal blue skies, beaches so white
    Million stars hanging in the heavens each night
    Lots of slow moving women that treat you so right
    Long necks chilling within easy eyesight

    Gets into your blood, runs up to your brain
    Like barefoot ladies dancing in warm summer rains
    Tiny bikinis, bodies tanned so brown
    I thank God I'm finally Southern bound
    Southern bound

    You'll be sure to find me 'cause everybody knows
    I'll be deep down in Dixie where it never ever snows
    Sun beating down, warm waves licking my toes
    Blowing magic smoke rings in the magnolia groves

    I can hear it calling me on a honey suckle breeze
    Lazy hammock naps under moss covered trees
    Gonna back off on the throttle and slow it all down
    I thank God I'm finally Southern bound

    I can hear it calling me on a honey suckle breeze
    Lazy hammock naps under moss covered trees
    Gonna back off on the throttle and slow it all down
    I thank God I'm finally Southern bound (bound, bound)
    Southern bound (bound, bound)

    Gotta get back to Dixie
    I just gotta get back

    Southern bound
    Southern bound


    Can't Stop Now:

    I've been waiting
    Waiting for so long

    Wanting to show me
    Show me
    Your love is real

    Every time you get real close
    You whisper in my ear
    Ooh baby baby I love you the most
    But our future doesn't seem too clear

    I've been loving you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
    I've been loving you for so long
    Can't stop now
    (Can't stop, can't stop now)

    I've been dreaming
    Dreaming 'bout you and me
    Yeah, you and me taking on this world together

    You've been hoping
    Hoping we could finally

    Can't stop now
    (Can't stop, can't stop now)

    I know that this dream
    Must seem so far away
    Just hold me real tight
    It will come back to us someday, yeah

    I've been loving you for so long
    That this feeling's getting so strong
