When God Made the South

There's no doubt He had a real good day There were Blackberry's blooming in the red dirt clay And the smell of Jasmine floating through the Pines I bet He knew right then we'd love our chicken fried And sweet tea to wash it down When God made the South He put grits and gravy in our blood He put the Delta Blues in the Mississippi mud He put lazy in Sundays, so we'd sit a spell And He put the buckle in the Bible belt And a drawl y'all we can't get out When God made the South In the beginning, He blessed this place We got blue suede shoes and amazing grace Barbecue and Backwoods, He said, "It's all good" And sent a little Heaven down When God made the South I was born, one of the chosen few And I can't help but thinking maybe, somehow He knew That I'd be falling for an angel right here tonight Under the moon that He hung in the sky He already had it all planned out When God made the South In the beginning, He blessed this place We got free bird and amazing grace Barbecue and Backwoods, He said, "It's all good" And sent a little heaven down When God made the South Can I get an amen? (Amen) Can I get an amen? (Amen) Can I get an amen for the Armadillos and the Magnolia Moon pie and RC Cola? And how many times Charlie done told you What happened to the Devil when he went down to Georgia In the beginning, He blessed this place We got Jambalaya and amazing grace Barbecue and Backwoods, He said, "It's all good" And sent a little heaven down He sent a little heaven down When God made the South When God made the South
