I reckin' y'all might want to hold on tight
Cause I'm locking the hubs we gonna get mud on here tonight
This dirt road yonder in the holler ain't nobody around
Lower down the tailgate get out the shine good friends pass it on down

Away from the big city holler kinda thing
All them city slickers with that stuff they can keep all that bling
I'd rather wear some beat up old hand me down clothes that's used
Than have that overpriced China made name brand shirts and shoes

Them foreign sports cars are a blast and rockets are fun
But we need to remember to spend USA made right here so we don't come undone
All that foreign products we can buy too
Just remember to spend right here for that red white and blue

I'm a patriotic good old southern boy to the T
Been down about every river in the Carolina's and East Tennessee
Seems like in the south there ain't a mountain I ain't seen
BBQ coleslaw cornbread  and that sweet tea

I'm a good old southern boy to a T
But I ain't got a racist bone in me
I'm a hillbilly gangster hippie if you please
A jacked up truck tie died shirt listening to rap music come on please

I've had all kinds of Ford's same with Chevrolet
I bought a Jeep to put out in my driveway
I live up yonder in Minnesota where it's cold and snows
I crank up the heater and radio as far as it will go

We got 10,000 lakes big deer and birch trees
Way up north they got Moose and Bear and eagles flying free
Deer stands hunting shacks campfires kicked back
Good people the farmer stopped by with a fresh sweet corn sack

Small town folks just getting by on a few bucks and change
Some work at the factories and some work at the Iron Range
Minneapolis got jobs that pay real good
But with all the high crime I think I'll stick to my woods

The protesters burned everything down
But they didn't come into the country because they knew they'd get beat down
Them farmer boys raised on hockey sticks already missing a tooth
They jacked up trucks all fired up ready to let loose

I'm a good old southern boy down to the T
But I ain't got a damn racist bone in me
I'm good with everybody I can keep it cool
Just don't come around me acting like no damn fool

When I say a southern boy it's not a geographical thing
It's a philosophical hospitality mindset that I bring with me
Democrat republican black or white I'm cool with all
I love to watch peoples eyes the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall

After high school in Tennessee, I moved in with this old black man
He taught me about the blues in life he laid down the facts man
I'd go to the ghetto and I witnessed poor first hand
Too bad them rich guys ain't spreading around for that little man

They's one thing growing up that I used to love to go see
That's the beautiful mountains and sacred feathers of Cherokee
Always met with wisdom beauty and sincere handshake
Thankful for every feather I never took more than I needed to take

In Minnesota, I became friends with a neighbor on the other side of my fence
He had a purple motorcycle went by a symbol then he eventually switched it back to Prince
All them late nights watching him play the guitars and sing
The memories I'll cherish in my mind what a beautiful thing

I wish I could do like he did
And I ain't nowhere that good
But I'll remember that stuff and I soak it in baby umm
I'm a southern boy to a T ain't a racist bone in me

Now I love me some bonfire Minnesota Nice
But I can't get excited about protests and them nonsense fights
The cops had a guy down with a knee on his neck
Saying I can't breathe and he died then look what happened next

Lake Street in Minneapolis set on fire and businesses turned upside down
Got me thinking about living in that country Tennessee town
My son my woman my dogs back in the woods
The holler between some mountains sounds real good

Get my corn my taters my maters my beans in the ground
Second week in August them blueberries is all around
That simple southern life harmony and peace
Let's do the deal we can keep it real If you'll be a friends I'll be your friend

Whether you want to north or down south east coast west don't matter
Ain't no bribe worth worth the price
Keep it real do it right you can look back it's always nice

I'm a southern boy to the T
I was taught to never steal and be cool
Don't take handouts work hard as I can
And if you see a guy struggling help him if you can

A southern boy to the T
I try to bring a smile goodness everywhere that I can ever be
