Song of the South


A tall glass of sweet tea to start off your day

Then to the barn to deal out the hay.

There isn’t anything better than a life in the South

Sunsets so beautiful you can’t shut your mouth.

The summers are hot so you jump in the creek

Things like this make the South never feel bleak.

Hot and sweaty days spent on the farm

End when the boys come home to their Southern Belles’ arms.

Spending nights beneath the star-spangled skies

Will always be known to spark a fire in your eyes.

Taking the young ones out to shoot their first gun,

Spending life like this makes the South so much fun.

 

Spending time with family around the dinner table,

It makes you joyful like a happily ending fable.

A manly meal of scrambled eggs and meat

This hearty food ensures the South can’t be beat.

Everyone gets full and it’s time for a long nap

You stop to be thankful for the kids asleep your lap.

As you look around, you can most definitely see,

That God is good to the folks down in Dixie.

From the beautiful bloom of the cotton bolls

To the joy that you see fill all of our souls,

Life in Dixie is always something to enjoy,

Especially in the life of an Ole Southern boy.
