Lyrics:
My great, great granddaddy’s great granddad left Ireland on a boat, without a dime to his name cuz he’d heard of a place where the dirt was rich as gold
And he fought and he starved and he worked and bled, carved out with calloused hands…
his own little piece of this Southern land

Yeah I’ve walked these fields and fence rows with a rifle and a fishin’ line
Been baptized in a Sunday mornin’ sermon, the fire of Friday night lights
And these deep fried, backwoods, homegrown ways are part of who I am
Yeah, my roots run deep in this Southern Land

You’ll hear live oak and magnolia in the laid back way we talk
Feel the warm kiss of the Gulf Coast in an old Ray Charles song
If you ain’t spent much time around here, friend, you might not understand
Why we’re proud to be the sons and daughters of the Southern Land

Now you ain’t lived until you’ve had a bite of pit smoked barbecue
Or seen those hills of ol Kentucky when October’s in full bloom
And When that waitress at the cafe drawls “honey, y’all come back again”
No, You won’t wanna leave this Southern Land

Cuz You’ll hear live oak and magnolia in the laid back way we talk
Feel the warm kiss of the Gulf Coast in an old Hank Williams song
If you ain’t spent much time around here, friend, you might not understand
Why we’re proud to be the sons and daughters of the Southern Land

I’ve been lucky enough to witness some of the wonders of this world
But from what I’ve seen ain’t nothin beats the love of a southern girl
So when my time down here’s over I’ve only got one request
Plant these bones down deep in that Southern Land

And you’ll hear cactus and mesquite trees in the way some cowboy talks
Taste that welcome home blackberry cobbler in a Dolly song
Yeah we’re all shades of brown and black and white, you might not understand, call us redneck, old fashioned, blue collar
But we’re proud to be the sons and daughters of the southern land
