[Verse 1] I left my home in Georgia.  Took a dream and a dollar Went looking for that fortune and fame Well I found it up in Nashville With the guitars and the fiddles Started singing ’cross the U.S. of A I’d played my songs in Georgia   Way down there in Florida Once or twice in New Orleans But the sounds I was making Didn’t know that I’d be taking them to places that’s so far and strange But the people really dug it no matter where we strummed it I felt that it would be ok Cause I learned right away It ain’t just a southern thang [Chorus] Now I’ve played in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked ’em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain’t just a southern thang [Verse 2] I’ve seen cowgirls a plenty Up in New York City Milwaukee and in Philly PA They got the four wheel drives on that Minnesota ice Just like they have in Alabam A They’re dancing and they’re moving To the lyrics and the music From Maui up to Bangor Maine Lord it may sound strange But it ain’t just a southern thang [Chorus] Now I’ve played in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked ’em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain’t just a southern thang [Bridge] I’ve played that country music…….On the land and the ocean But people can’t say my name Yeah the fact remains……It ain’t just a southern thang [Break]              [Chorus]                                  Oh I’ve played in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked ’em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain’t just a southern thang Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain’t just a southern thang Oh it may sound strange…….It ain’t just a southern thang Yeah the fact remains……It ain’t just a southern thang y’all
