Lyrics
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 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-oh
