Lyrics: Josh Turner
Music: Josh Turner
You say you're from the planet where the tea ain't sweet
You never seen a chicken that's fried
You never been up in a big ol' live oak tree
You never heard of Charlie Pride
I'm feelin' sorry for you 'cause you been missin' out
You made me realize how good my life is, thank the Lord
I'm from the Deep South
Let me take you there
Screamin' down a back road like we don't care
I'm from the Deep South
We ain't meanin' no harm
Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
We ain't got much of nothin' but we sure is proud
Y'all better listen up, you heard it straight from my mouth
I'm from the Deep South
I'm from the Deep South
Down in the land of cotton, in her front porch swing
That's where mama likes to shuck the corn
And I'll sit out there with her and sing her a tune
Playin' on my ol' guitar
I'm in the church house every Sunday, in the same old pew
After that we'll go and eat my favorite barbecue
I'm from the Deep South
Let me take you there
Screamin' down a back road like we don't care
I'm from the Deep South
We ain't meanin' no harm
Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
We ain't got much of nothin' but we sure is proud
Y'all better listen up, you heard it straight from my mouth
I'm from the Deep South
Yeah, I'm from the Deep South
Get it
I'll get all dressed up and we'll go out on the town
High steppin' in my cowboy boots
We'll come back to the country and kick it back
Sit and talk about my roots
There's been seven generations livin' life on this land
I thank my lucky stars that I was born a Southern man
I'm from the Deep South
Let me take you there
Screamin' down a back road like we don't care
I'm from the Deep South
We ain't meanin' no harm
Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
We ain't got much of nothin' but we sure is proud
Y'all better listen up, you heard it straight from my mouth
I'm from the Deep South
Yeah, I'm from the Deep South, uh-huh
I'm from the Deep South
