Made In The Dirty South


Verse 1

I like to eat corn dogs and spicy chilli

Telling ghost stories by the camp fire

Hanging out with my g's and all of my girls

Anywhere that we meet

The best place to be on a Saturday morning

Was Big Al's barbershop

Whatever you heard would raise a few eyebrows

But there was certainly no shortage of laughter


Verse 2

I've got the accent, look and personality of a southerner

I've met my share of southern belles

And I can tell you each of them were full of life

And of course there are plenty of long, dusty roads

Summer weather is hot and hazy

We drank a lot of lemonade

Enjoyed neighbours company

I consider the south to be my extended family


Bridge 1

Here's a shout out to all the southerners

What's up!?

Y'all having a good time!?


Bridge 2

I love Dallas, I love Memphis

Jam it up, Louisiana!

Deep down to the bayou

Kentucky, Florida I will always remember you

Birmingham, you are the true underdog

Atlanta, you're hip and sizzling


Chorus

I was made in the dirty south

It will always be a part of me

Until the day that I die

I'm proud to say I belong to the southern community

The way of life down there has shaped who I am
