Something Southern

Yeah, I've been goin' through it for a week or a month

All I know is they've all been one of them days

No, it ain't hard, I can usually play the part

But this weight on my back got me needin' a break

Yeah, I need somethin' southern

Like a week by the lake

Or a creek bed, fishin' with a beer on the way

In the summer, that's where I feel alive

Or in a dive bar underneath neon lights

Just south of the Dixon Line

Number starts with an 865

And if you want, you can call me stubborn

But I need somethin' southern

Yeah, I need somethin' southern

My flag's got red, white, and blue, and not another color

That's the way that it stays

I let it wave by the bonfire, tearin' up them mud tires

Whole team's up on the tailgate

And I'm as loyal as a dog that never runs off

I'm as wild as a bull in a china shop

And I'ma pour one tall and kick them boots off

There ain't no such thing as a drinkin' problem

Just south of the Dixon Line

Number starts with an 865

And if you want, you can call me stubborn

But I need somethin' southern

Yeah, I need somethin' southern

A town where they love Jesus, somethin' to believe in

And the day that he comes back, I think he'd find himself at home

Just south of the Dixon Line

Number starts with an 865

And if you want, you can call me stubborn

But I need somethin' southern

Double shot of number seven on ice

And that fire stays burnin' all night

Feels like the whole world's going under

And we all need somethin' southern
