Southern Man

Текст песни Kashus Culpepper - Southern Man

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

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

Ain't nothing you can give me, baby
That I ain't already got deep inside

'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

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

'Cause ain't nothing you can give me, baby
That I ain't already got deep inside

'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

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

'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 I 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

Mm-mm
Oh, yeah
Oh-ooh
