Southern Man

[Intro]
I don't think they make 'em down here like that no more

[Verse 1]
Well, you can dress me up in diamonds
You can give me all your gold
But I'ma still need that water, baby
For the roots down in my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't nothing you can give me, baby
That I ain't already got deep inside

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am
Yeah, l'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands
Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar
Blood on these strings
And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Verse 2]
I've been clouded in the options
They tryin' to tell me how it is
I got these teachings from my mother
And that's the way I'm gonna live

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't nothing you can give me, baby
That I ain't already got deep inside

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am
Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands
Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar
Blood on these strings
And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Guitar Solo: Marcus King]

[Bridge]
I've been trying to tell ya
I'm a long way from home
Must be something 'bout the weather, baby
That makes me feel so alone

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am
Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands
Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar
Blood on these strings
And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be
A Southern man, and I know who l am
Yeah, I'm a lover man (Natural-born lover man), I got dirt on my hands
Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar
Blood on these strings
And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

[Outro]
Mmm
Oh, yeah
Ah, ooh, hahaha
