The South
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh yeah
Boots and buckles, red clay and sand
My point ain’t subtle here, i’m a southern man
Where the beer seems cooler and the women seem hotter
Where the world don’t seem so damn modern
And a good ole boy like me still has a chance
This is where i was born this is where i’ll die
Yeah, this is where i was born and this is where i’ll die
It’s all about the south
Georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisiana, carolina,
Don’t you wanna get down and dirty
Cause, florida i’m thirsty
Hit me with your tennessee whiskey and crank it up loud
Laid back, you crazy old timer, sweet magnolia, dive bars and diners, oh yeah
Oh, and even if you’re up north, c’mon down, c’mon down
Oh, it’s all about the south
From daddy’s don williams to mama’s patsy cline
Oh, we’re “walkin’ after midnight” singing “tulsa time”, oh, yeah
Where the beer seems cooder and the women seem hotter
Where the world don’t seem so damn modern
Yeah,this is where i was born this is where i’ll die oh that’s right!
It’s all about the south
Georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisiana, carolina
Don’t you wanna get down and dirty
Cause, florida i’m thirsty
Hit me with your tennessee whiskey and crank it up loud
Laid back, you crazy old timer, sweet magnolia, dive bars and diners, oh yeah
Oh, and even if you’re up north, c’mon down, c’mon down
Oh, it’s all about the south
C’mon yeah
Bring it on down and sing it with me now
(gang vocals)
This is where i was born and this is where i’ll die
(yeah, this is where i’ll die)
This is where i was born and this were i’ll die
It’s all about the south
Georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisiana, carolina,
Don’t you wanna get down and dirty
Cause, florida i’m thirsty
Hit me with your tennessee whiskey and crank it up loud
Laid back, crazy old timer, sweet magnolia, dive bars and diners, oh yeah
Oh, and even if you’re up north, c’mon down, c’mon down…oh
I said
Even if you’re up north, c’mon down, c’mon down
Oh, it’s all about the south
