Southern State Of Mind

I was up in New York City

Just the other week

You should've seen the waitress face

When I ordered sweet tea

She said, "We don't have that here"

And I apologized

I said, "Please forgive me

I'm in a southern state of mind"

And those girls out in California

They don't understand

They don't like it when I hold the door

Or when I say yes ma'am

They act like I've done something wrong

And they give me the evil eye

I say, "Honey, I'm sorry

I'm in a southern state of mind"

I could be anywhere

In my heart I'm always there

Where they drink sweet tea

And they raise you to be polite

No changin' who I am

That's the way I've always been

No matter what state I'm in

I'm in a southern state of mind

I'm always walkin' 'round

Tellin' everybody hi

Just a wavin' at the strangers

In the cars passin' by

Some people may look at me

And say that boy just ain't right

Hey, y'all, I ain't crazy

I'm in a southern state of mind

I could be anywhere

In my heart I'm always there

Where you know everybody

If you don't then you're still polite

No changin' who I am

That's the way I've always been

No matter what state I'm in

I'm in a southern state of mind

You can see it in the clothes I wear

You can hear it when I talk

Ball cap, boots and jeans

And a little southern drawl

I could be up in Ohio

Or back home in Caroline

No matter what state I'm in

I'm in a southern state of mind

Don't matter what state I'm in

I'm in a southern state of mind

Yeah, alright

A southern state of mind

Come on, come on, oh

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
