Southern State Of Mind

Lyricist:Chris Du Bois, Ashley Gorley, Darius Rucker

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
