Southern Boy
[Verse 1]
Well it's easy for a country boy
To be misunderstood
When the honky tonks are jumping
And the girls are looking good
Yeah, I get excited
And some people think I'm rude
It's the way my daddy raised me
It's my rebel attitude
[Chorus 1]
I'm a southern boy
Southern born and bred
I've got Sweet Home Alabama
Buzzing all around in my head
I'm right at home in Georgia
Or down in Caroline
Yeah I'd be happy anywhere
Below that Mason-Dixon line
[Verse 2]
A working and a sweating
Until I hear that whistle blow
Country rock a cooking
On my pick-up radio
I rush home for a shower
And put on my dancing shoes
I get the Friday fever
And the Sunday morning blues
[Chorus 2]
I'm a southern boy
I like a rowdy crowd
Put Bocephus on the jukebox
And turn that sucker way up loud
Don't need a reservation
We're just a-having fun
Yeah it's party time in Dixie
You all just come on down and get ya some
[Verse 3]
From Rockingham to Birmingham
Mobile to New Orleans
Jacksonville to Copper Hill
Pike to Bowling Green
Layfayette to Somerset
Boone to Rocky Mount
If you don't live in Dixie then
You're only camping out
[Chorus 3]
I'm a southern boy
I say my sirs and madams
I'm kinda rough around the edges
But I'm mighty proud of who I am
Roll on Mississippi, Rock on Tennessee
If it was good enough for Elvis
You know it's good enough for me
[Outro]
I said, if it was good enough
For Elvis you know it's good enough for me
Well if the King was crazy about it
Then you know it's good enough for me
