Southern Girl

I wasn’t raised where the gulf winds blow
Where the cotton grows fast and the drawls are slow
I ain’t from Dixie but in my heart I know
I’m a southern girl
When I talk to my mama I always say, «yes, ma’am»
And like Rhett told Scarlet, I don’t give a damn
What state I was born in, I know I am
A southern girl
It’s in my blood, it’s in my soul
It’s where the man I love and I are gonna grow old
When I go to heaven I’m gonna leave this world
A southern girl
It’s a beautiful place, where I come from
Every now and then I still miss it some
But you live here long enough and you become
A southern girl
I listened to country since I was two feet tall
I got a picture of Dolly hangin' on my wall
Like grits and sweet tea, I swear to ya’ll
I’m a southern girl
It’s in my blood, it’s in my soul
It’s where the man I love and I are gonna grow old
When I go to heaven I’m gonna leave this world
A southern girl
I’m gonna live out the rest of my days
A northern born and raised southern girl
