Southern Man
Roy Meares and Murray Grindlay
Key A
[Verse 1]
Some of the Aboys
Got it into their Dheads
About moving up ANorth
To follow the Ebread
That ain't for Ame
That kind of thing just don't Drate
This is one southern AboyE  
Who ain't crossin' the AStrait.
[Verse 2]
Now we might not be Arich
But we like things down Dhere
We got the best looking Agirls
And the best damn Ebeer
So you can keep your Queen ACity
With your cocktails and Dcool
Give me a beer in a AsevenE  
With the boys shooting Apool
[Chorus]
I'm a DSouthern Man
Well I'm ASouthern bred
I got the ESouth in my blood
And I'll be Ahere till I'm damn well A7dead
'cos I'm a DSouthern Man
Well I'm ASouthern bred
I got the F#mSouth in my blood
And I'm gonna be Ahere till I'm Edamn well Adead
[Verse 3]
'Cos here we just Aknow
What makes a Southern boy Dtick
And it ain't marguAeritas
With some fruit on a Estick
Well it might not be Afancy
But when you come from down Dhere
You know you got the best AgirlE  
And you got the best Abeer.
[Chorus]
Well, DI'm a Southern Man
I'm ASouthern bred
I got the ESouth in my blood
And I'll be Ahere till I'm damn well A7dead
'cos I'm a DSouthern Man
Well I'm ASouthern bred
I got the F#mSouth in my blood
gonna be Ahere till I'm Edamn well Adead

'Cos I'm a DSouthern Man

I'm ASouthern bred
I got the F#mSouth in my blood
And I'm gonna be Ahere till I'm Edamn well Adead (Ends on A)

Southern Man

Roy Meares and Murray Grindlay

Key A

[Verse 1]

Some of the boys

Got it into their heads

About moving up North

To follow the bread

That ain't for me

That kind of thing just don't rate

A E

This is one southern boy

Who ain't crossin' the Strait.

[Verse 2]

Now we might not be rich

But we like things down here

We got the best looking girls

And the best damn beer

So you can keep your Queen City

With your cocktails and cool

A E

Give me a beer in a seven

With the boys shooting pool

[Chorus]

I'm a Southern Man

Well I'm Southern bred

I got the South in my blood

A A7

And I'll be here till I'm damn well dead

'cos I'm a Southern Man

Well I'm Southern bred

F#m

I got the South in my blood

A E A

And I'm gonna be here till I'm damn well dead

[Verse 3]

'Cos here we just know

What makes a Southern boy tick

And it ain't margueritas

With some fruit on a stick

Well it might not be fancy

But when you come from down here

A E

You know you got the best girl

And you got the best beer.

[Chorus]

Well, I'm a Southern Man

I'm Southern bred

I got the South in my blood

A A7

And I'll be here till I'm damn well dead

'cos I'm a Southern Man

Well I'm Southern bred

F#m

I got the South in my blood

A E A

gonna be here till I'm damn well dead

[Outro]

'Cos I'm a Southern Man

and I'm Southern bred

I got the South in my blood

A A7

gonna be here till I'm damn well dead

I'm a Southern Man

I'm Southern bred

F#m

I got the South in my blood

A E A

And I'm gonna be here till I'm damn well dead (Ends on A)
