Southern to the Bone

Here in the South we say ya'll and bless your heart Drink that ice cold sweet tea in old mason jars Lie on quilts in fields lookin' up at the stars Flag flying Americans - that's who we are Only life I've ever known Born and raised with country folk But I can say now that I'm grown I'm proud to be southern to the bone Drive through the mud with big tires on our trucks In a stand all night waitin' for that big buck Lookin' for excuses just to turn things up We party hard but in God we trust Only life I've ever known Born and raised with country folk But I can say now that I'm grown I'm proud to be southern to the bone More than skin deep From my head down to my feet Runnin' in my veins Through my heart and brain Even in the air I breathe It's who I am Liquid burnin' in my glands In the clothes I wear Way I fix my hair How I sit and how I stand Only life I've ever known Born and raised with country folk But I can say now that I'm grown I'm proud to be southern to the bone All the way down to the bone
