Karaoké Southern State of Mind 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 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 think they 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 all right

A southern state of mind

Come on, come on, oh

Oh oh
