about

The Southern Raiders Band (SRB) has been performing and writing original music for over 15 years. SRB performs in the Country/Southern Rock arena and has eight complete albums to show for the efforts. SRB has performed opening acts for some of the biggest names in the industry and has the writing ability and musicianship to perform with both the Country Music stars and the Southern Rock legends. This allows us the ability to produce both rock and country music album releases. The fans have been great in both fields and some enjoy both styles of music and we are fortunate to have original music in both genres. The music is now available by the complete album or by the song. This music was recently released here at BandCamp just type in Southern Raiders Band and choose rock from the album, “Raise Southern Dixie,”-10 songs, or if you enjoy traditional country music please check out our, “If You’re Gonna Play Country, - YOU GOTTA ROCK THE HOUSE,” album here at BandCamp as well. We certainly hope you enjoy these albums for your library of music and SRB would certainly appreciate your support.

If you are new to SRB please check us out on Facebook and Bandcamp.com and leave a post we sure welcome you aboard and hope you enjoy the music. You know music is a part of everyone’s life and SRB would love the opportunity to be a part of that, for you, as well. SRB also has two songs in the foreign market that produces royalties currently, and we are trying to get a U.S. release here on our homeland territory. SRB has had the same members; with the exception of two we lost through illness and one who passed away, since the inception of the group. This fact is possible because we strive to have a good time, abundance of written material, and a close relationship with our fans through our music on albums as well as our live concerts. Keeping, you the fan, at the top of our priorities enables us the ability for continued longevity and the motivation to keep turning out the music you can enjoy and relate to. We want you to know that we thank you so very much for buying the music and coming to the concerts because without you loyal fans we’d have to close shop and go home.

Once again, thank you for all your support and we look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon.

God Bless and have a great day,

THE
SOUTHERN RAIDERS BAND

Thank You, and remember: " SMILE AT THE WORLD...IT MAY JUST SMILE BACK. "

~ This Band Is Stamped 110 Proof Original Southern Style Jammin....!

BACK ROADS OF MY MIND


INTRO
I CAN STILL SEE THAT OLE CROOKED CLOTHES LINE
SHEETS BLOWIN IN THE WARM SUNSHINE
GRANDPA WITH HIS FIDDLE ON THE FRONT PORCH SWING
I CAN STILL RECALL THOSE SWEET MELODIES AND MEMORIES

VERSE
PUTTING PENNIES ON THE RAIL ROAD TRACK
WATCHING OLD NUMBER 8 MASH EM’ FLAT
PICKIN TEAMS FOR A BASEBALL GAME
THE NIGHT FISHING IN THE MUDDY LAKE

A NEW TRACTOR WAS THE TALK OF THE TOWN
A CROWD GATHERED JUST TO SEE HOW SHE PLOWED
I’VE LEFT THAT SIMPLE LIFE MILES BEHIND
I CAN STILL WALK THROUGH THOSE TIMES . . .ON THE BACK ROADS OF MY MIND

VERSE
HOLIDAYS WERE A FAVORITE TIME
EASTER MORNING FOUND US WAITING IN LINE
OUTSIDE THE CHURCH HOUSE IN OUR SUNDAY’S BEST
THE DOORS WOULD OPEN AND WE’D MARCH UP THE STEPS
PREACHER TAUGHT ME ABOUT JESUS
HIS DAUGHTER TAUGHT ME ABOUT FIRST LOVE
I STILL GO BACK THERE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
YEA I STILL DRIVE BY . . .ON THE BACK ROADS OF MY MIND

BRIDGE
AND OUT ON THIS HIGHWAY LIFE GOES BY IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
SO NOW AND THEN I TAKE A DETOUR TO A PLACE WHERE PRECIOUS MEMORIES FLOOD MY MIND

LEAD

VERSE
I WOKE UP FROM A DREAM LAST NIGHT
COULD OF SWORE I HEARD THE SOUND OF SWEET MUSIC
GRANDPA’S FIDDLE IN THE MOONLIGHT
WELL I SPENT SOME TIME
ON THOSE BACK ROADS . . .THE BACK ROADS OF MY MIND
