Southern Man (feat. Marcus King)

I don't think they make 'em like that down here no more

Well you can dress me up in diamonds

You can give me all your gold

But I'ma still need that water, baby

For the roots down in my soul

Ain't nothing you can give me, baby

That I ain't already got deep inside

'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

I've been clouded in the options

They tryin' to tell me how it is

I got these teachings from my mother

And that's the way I'm gonna live

'Cause ain't nothing you can give me, baby

That I ain't already got deep inside

'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

I've been trying to tell ya

I'm a long way from home

Must be something 'bout the weather, baby

That makes me feel so alone

'Cause I'm a Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

A Southern man, and I know who I am

Yeah, I'm a lover man, I got dirt on my hands

Natural-born lover man

Came up from the holler, ain't got a dollar

Blood on these strings

And I'm a Southern man, and I'm always gonna be

Mmm

Ooh, yeah

Ooh
