Southern By the Grace of God

I sleep better with crickets singin'

Windows open and doors ain't even locked

Southern by the grace of God

Old men sittin' in cold beer joints

Talk real slow, but they get their point across

Southern by the grace of God

I'm tellin' y'all, this Delta drawl

Is stuck to me like buzz on a honeybee

Country is as country does, and look here, cuz

You can't out-country me, yeah

Hound dog howlin', and front porch blues

Kids run 'round outside with no shoes, or socks

Southern by the grace of God

Grandpa's whiskey and grandma's Bible

Will get you through when it's tent revival hot

Southern by the grace of God

I'm tellin' y'all, this Delta drawl

Is stuck to me like buzz on a honeybee

Country is as country does, and look here, cuz

You can't out-country me

When I'm called home, don't need nothing fancy

Just lay my bones down in our family plot

Southern by the grace of God
