Adam Carroll - The Dirty South
Capo: 3rd Fret
GDrank white lightning when I was still in a crib
GHad a moon pie smeared all over my bed
CI punched my first grade teacher right square in the mouth
GCause that’s how we do in it in the dirty southD  G  
I got a dale junior tattoo here on my back
My ears are still ringing from the NASCAR track
I punched Jeff Gordon right square in the mouth
Cause that how we do it in the dirty south
My baby takes her top off when we go to the lake
She soft and sexy but she’s mean as a snake
If I catch you looking at her ill punch you square in the mouth
Cause that how we do it in the dirty south
CMT award show was a hell of a time
Tanya Tucker smiled at me while I was standing in line
My wife punched her right square in the mouth
Cause that how we do it in the dirty south

Adam Carroll - The Dirty South

Capo: 3rd Fret

Drank white lightning when I was still in a crib

Had a moon pie smeared all over my bed

I punched my first grade teacher right square in the mouth

G D G

Cause that’s how we do in it in the dirty south

I got a dale junior tattoo here on my back

My ears are still ringing from the NASCAR track

I punched Jeff Gordon right square in the mouth

Cause that how we do it in the dirty south

My baby takes her top off when we go to the lake

She soft and sexy but she’s mean as a snake

If I catch you looking at her ill punch you square in the mouth

Cause that how we do it in the dirty south

CMT award show was a hell of a time

Tanya Tucker smiled at me while I was standing in line

My wife punched her right square in the mouth

Cause that how we do it in the dirty south
