Southern Son

[Chorus]

I'm a southern son, no matter where I run

Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild

I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud

I'll always claim the ground where I come from

I'm a southern son

[Verse 1]

I'm a try-and-rise-above-her

I'm a keeper of my brother

My mother now that daddy's gone

I'm a cusser, I'm a prayer

I'm a get-in-my-wayer

I'm stubborn as a day is long

[Verse 2]

Had to pay a little bail

At the Macon County Jail

When my buddy lost a barroom fight

I'm a mover, I'm a shaker

I'm a pour-a-shot-and-taker

At the end of every day and night

[Chorus]

I'm a southern son, no matter where I run

Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild

I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud

I'll always claim the ground where I come from

'Cause I'm a southern son

[Verse 3]

Her blue eyes caught me up in BC

Worked her northern magic on me

Had to say goodbye to being free

Someday I'll probably take her hand

Sink some roots down in the sand

In Georgia or in Tennessee

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a southern son, no matter where I run

Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild

Yeah, I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud

I'll always claim the ground where I come from

'Cause I'm a southern son

Yeah son

Yeah son

Yeah son

[Bridge]

I've been a loner on my owner

A damn rollin' stoner

I'm kinda feelin' like those days are gone

Traveled on the gravel all around this world

Think it's time I go and raise me one

[Outro]

Son

A little southern son

Yeah son

A little southern son
