Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was born

I was blessed

Right place

Right time, I guess

Ain't no good reason

Why I left

Except to run and roam

[Verse 2]

Would you take me back

And take me in

Let me be your child again

Kiss my cheek

Forgive my sins

And let me call you home

[Verse 3]

Oh, I may

Stay here for awhile

[Verse 4]

If I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly down south

If I'm gonna drive

I'm gonna find a small town

South is where my momma lives

Where my little piece of Heaven is

If I'm gonna dream

I'm gonna dream your face

If I'm gonna go

I'm gonna go to that place

And figure out

What I lost and found

Down south

[Verse 5]

Religion and me

Don't always agree

But I sure love my maker

Sounds just like a gospel song

When I sing my little prayer

Got rocks in my shoes

Holes in my soul

[Verse 6]

I'm covered in dirt

From head to toe

From walking along

This winding road

That brought me back to here

[Verse 7]

Oh, I may

Stay here for awhile

[Verse 8]

If I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly down south

If I'm gonna drive

I'm gonna find a small town

South is where my momma lives

Where my little piece of Heaven is

If I'm gonna dream

I'm gonna dream your face

If I'm gonna go

I'm gonna go to that place

And figure out

What I lost and found

Down south

[Verse 9]

Ooh, ooh

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Ooh, ooh

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh, I may

Stay here for awhile

[Verse 10]

If I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fly down south

If I'm gonna drive

I'm gonna find a small town

South is where my momma lives

Where my little piece of Heaven is

If I'm gonna dream

I'm gonna dream your face

If I'm gonna go

I'm gonna go to that place

And figure out

What I lost and found

Down south

[Verse 11]

Down south

Ooh, ooh

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Ooh, ooh

Na, na, na

[Verse 12]

Down south

Born and raised

Down south

Where I learned to pray

Down south

Is where I'll stay

Down south

Down south

[Verse 13]

Born and raised

Down south

Where I learned to pray

Down south

Is where I'll stay

Down south

[Verse 14]

Down south

Rocks in my shoes

Holes in my soul

I'm covered in dirt

From head to toe
