Right Here in the South

Southern outlaw born and raised

Wanna take it back to the good ole days

I miss the way things used to be

People look you in your eyes when their talkin'

Shake your hand before they start walkin'

I don't know what's gone wrong but it needs to change

I was taught to say sir and ma'am

You don't start a fight but you never back down

Hold the door open if you see a woman comin'

If something goes down, don't start runnin'

The only thing your given in life is your name

Better make sure you don't bring it shame

There's a few things in this life that you can live without

That's the way we do things right here in the south

You do a hard day's work for a hard day's pay

You take a little and you put it in the plate

Treat a woman right, make sure the bills are paid

When things get tough, the tough get goin'

The good things in life are all worth knowin'

Everyone down here was brought up this way

I was taught to say sir and ma'am

You don't start a fight but you never back down

Hold the door open if you see a woman comin'

If something goes down, don't start runnin'

Only thing your given in life is your name

Better make sure you don't bring it shame

There's a few things in this life that you can live without

That's the way we do things right here in the south

Only thing your given in life is your name

Better make sure you don't bring it shame

There's a few things in this life that you can live without

That's the way we do things right here in the south

Right here in the south
