Ain't Just a Southern Thing

Alan Jackson

I left my home in Georgia
Took a dream and a dollar
Went looking for that fortune and fame
Well I found it up in Nashville
With the guitars and the fiddles
Started singing 'cross the U.S. Of A
Well I'd played my songs in Georgia
Way down there in Florida
Once or twice in New Orleans
But the sounds I was making
Didn't know that I'd be taking
Them to places that's so far and so strange
But the people really dug it
No matter where we strummed it
I felt it would be OK
'Cos I learned right away
It ain't just a southern thing!

Oh I've played up in Chicago
And western Colorado
And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe
Sung in North and South Dakota
And eastern Oklahoma
And a TV show out in L.A.
They got the hats and boots
And them country roots
No matter what state they claim
Oh the facts are plain
It ain't just a southern thing!

I've seen cowgirls a plenty up in NYC
Milwaukee and in Philly, PA
They got the four-wheel drives
On that Minnesota ice
Just like they have in Alabam-a
They're dancing and they're moving
To the lyrics and the music
From Maui up to Bangor Maine
Lord it may sound strange
But it ain't just a southern thing!

Oh I've played up in Chicago
And western Colorado
And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe
Sung in North and South Dakota
And eastern Oklahoma
And a TV show out in L.A.
They got the hats and boots
And them country roots
No matter what state they claim
Oh the facts are plain
It ain't just a southern thing!

I've played that country music
On the land and on the ocean
But people can't say my name
Yeah, the fact remains
It ain't just a southern thing!

Oh I've played up in Chicago
And western Colorado
And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe
Sung in North and South Dakota
And eastern Oklahoma
And a TV show out in L.A.
They got the hats and boots
And them country roots
No matter what state they claim
Oh the facts are plain
It ain't just a southern thing!

Oh, it may sound strange
It ain't just a southern thing!
Yeah the fact remains
It ain't just a southern thing!
