[Chorus]
I'm a southern son, no matter where I run
Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild
I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud
I'll always claim the ground where I come from
I'm a southern son

[Verse 1]
I'm a try-and-rise-above-her
I'm a keeper of my brother
My mother now that daddy's gone
I'm a cusser, I'm a prayer
I'm a get-in-my-wayer
I'm stubborn as a day is long

[Verse 2]
Had to pay a little bail
At the Macon County Jail
When my buddy lost a barroom fight
I'm a mover, I'm a shaker
I'm a pour-a-shot-and-taker
At the end of every day and night

[Chorus]
I'm a southern son, no matter where I run
Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild
I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud
I'll always claim the ground where I come from
'Cause I'm a southern son
[Verse 3]
Her blue eyes caught me up in BC
Worked her northern magic on me
Had to say goodbye to being free
Someday I'll probably take her hand
Sink some roots down in the sand
In Georgia or in Tennessee

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a southern son, no matter where I run
Another Dixie child, Mississippi River wild
Yeah, I'm a southern son baptized in His crimson mud
I'll always claim the ground where I come from
'Cause I'm a southern son
Yeah son
Yeah son
Yeah son

[Bridge]
I've been a loner on my owner
A damn rollin' stoner
I'm kinda feelin' like those days are gone
Traveled on the gravel all around this world
Think it's time I go and raise me one

[Outro]
Son
A little southern son
Yeah son
A little southern son
