Southern's Who I Am

Here's a fun song I wrote about being Southern.

Southern's Who I Am
by: Andrew Allen

Playing country music on the radio
bluegrass, gospel, and rock n roll
Singing in the choir, singing in the pew
playing for a crowd, or playing for a few
better stand up tall, stand up proud
play it strong and play it loud

Southern's who I am
say howdy, y'all, yes sir, yes ma'am
Southern's who I am
a born and raised Southern gentleman

I like chicken fried with mashed potatoes
pit barbecue when it's cooked real slow
corn bread muffins and black eyed peas
home made biscuits and a bowl of green beans
pecan pie with some cold ice cream
wash it all down with a large sweet tea

Southern's who I am
say howdy, y'all, yes sir, yes ma'am
Southern's who I am
a born and raised Southern gentleman

Gotta do things well and do 'em right
When you're wrong step up and apologize
Whether regular folks or high society
treat em with respect and hospitality
Mind your elders do what you're told
Pray to Jesus and He'll save your soul

Southern's who I am
say howdy, y'all, yes sir, yes ma'am
Southern's who I am
a born and raised Southern gentleman

Alabama, Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky
Mississippi, Louisiana, to the hills of Tennessee
Texas, Virginia, and down in Arkansas
Everybody's welcome to come and visit y'all
If you wanna find out what it's all about
come on down see how we do it in the South

Southern's who I am
say howdy, y'all, yes sir, yes ma'am
Southern's who I am
a born and raised Southern gentleman
