Southern is How I'll Stay
Just a fun, upbeat song about being from the Southern United States. A lot of people in the cities look down on southern life, but we in the south typically want nothing to do with those big, crowded cities.

Yeah, I'm your basic kind of south'ner
The city slickers don't know what that means
I'm just a-rockin' with my rifle
And a big glass of sweet tea
I got a hound dog chasin' a possum
Gettin' lost in the fields of corn
A torn, faded flag been flying on our land
Before my daddy was born
(Chorus)
I don't want none of your buildings
And your crowded, shovin' ways
I like to look up and see the stars
Not a blanket of gray haze
I like the fresh, clean air, I can drink from the creek
And it's safe for the kids to play
Pick-ups, moonshine and girls who'll shoot
I think southern is how I'll stay
Man, save me some of that cornbread
Put it in a brown paper bag to go
Pick up my baby in her cut-off shorts
And we're off to the fishin' hole
We ain't stayin' out too late tonight
Gotta get our butts to church 'fore noon
The women teachin' children "Jesus loves me"
And warnin' them he's coming soon
(Chorus)
