"Just The South Coming Out" lyrics - TRACY LAWRENCE

I don't get above my rasin'
Or bite off more than I can chew
Say, "Much obliged" and "Yeah, I reckon"
Use phrases like, "I'm fixin' to"
I'm partial to the Allman Brothers
Sawmill gravy, Spanish moss
Sometimes people call me backward
Guess that's just the way I talk

[Chorus:]
Hey ya'll, yes ma'm
Can't change who I am
Ain't nothin I can do about it now
"Mighty fine, pretty please"
"Mama, pass the black eyed peas"
When you hear that roll out of my mouth
That's just the South comin' out

I think rock and roll was born in Memphis
I like anything that's fried
When it's all over I'll be restin'
Below that Mason Dixon line
But I ain't in a real big hurry
I like to take it nice and slow
So pardon me when I say, "Howdy"
That's just how I say hello

[Chorus:]
Hey ya'll, yes ma'm
Can't change who I am
Ain't nothin I can do about it now
"Mighty fine, pretty please"
"Mama, pass the black eyed peas"
When you hear that roll out of my mouth
That's just the South comin' out

[Bridge:]
There ain't no point in tryin to hold it in
No matter where I go, I bring a piece of where I've been

[Chorus:]
Hey ya'll, yes ma'm
Can't change who I am
Ain't nothin I can do about it now
"Mighty fine, pretty please"
"Mama, pass the black eyed peas"
When you hear that roll out of my mouth
That's just the South comin' out
Yeah, that's just the South comin' out
