Southern Man

[Intro]

I don't think they make 'em down here like that no more

[Verse 1]

Well, you can dress me up in diamonds

You can give me all your gold

But I'ma still need that water, baby

For the roots down in my soul

[Pre-Chorus]

Ain't nothing you can give me, baby

That I ain't already got deep inside

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, l'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Verse 2]

I've been clouded in the options

They tryin' to tell me how it is

I got these teachings from my mother

And that's the way I'm gonna live

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause ain't nothing you can givе me, baby

That I ain't already got deep inside

[Chorus]

'Causе I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Guitar Solo: Marcus King]

[Bridge]

I've been trying to tell ya

I'm a long way from home

Must be something 'bout the weather, baby

That makes me feel so alone

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

A Southern man, and I know who l am

Yeah, I'm a lover man (Natural-born lover man), I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Outro]

Mmm

Oh, yeah

Ah, ooh, hahaha
