I Love Everyone

You could say I’m just a good ‘ol boy

Dipped in the batter, country fried

Washed in the blood, wrapped in the camoflauge

A staunch defender of the right side

I grew up accustomed to the rebel flag

Under the shadow of the cross

Down where the colors never mixed too well

Some folks still mad ‘cuz the south lost

But I’m a good-hearted, free-thinking son-of-a-gun

I may talk a little trash, but I don’t hate anyone

I love black people. I love brown people

I love muslims and jews, hindus and atheists too

Yes, I love everyone

I love gay people, I’m not afraid people

I may sing with a drawl, keep a little chew in my jaw, but I love everyone

My roots are buried in the georgia clay

They keep me well-grounded and strong

This little town off of the interstate

Is the only place I’ll ever call home

But I’ve been above the mason-dixon line

Flew across the ocean too

And I’ve seen god’s children everywhere I’ve been

And they love to laugh as much as we do

I’m careful of the pride that comes before the fall

I’m one for mending a fence instead of building a wall

It ain’t the corn bread or the collered greens

The sweet tea or the bar-b-que

The country music on your radio, it ain’t the gospel in the pew

It ain’t the boots, it ain’t the old blue jeans

The trucks, the tractors that we drive

It ain’t the guns, it ain’t the fishing poles, it ain’t the slower pace of life

It’s how we treat our neighbors treat our neighbors that makes us who we are

I may sing with a drawl, keep a little chew in my jaw, but I love everyone
