I was up in New York City just the other week
You shouldve seen the waitress face when I ordered sweet tea
She said we dont have that here and I apologized
I said please forgive me Im in a southern state of mind
And those girls out in California they dont understand
They dont like it when I hold the door or when I say yes maam
They act like I done something wrong and they give me the evil eye
I say honey Im sorry Im in a southern state of mind
I could be anywhere
In my heart Im always there
Where they drink sweet tea and they raise you to be polite
No changin who I am
Thats the way Ive always been
No matter what state Im in
Im in a southern state of mind
Im always walkin round tellin everybody hi
Just a waving at the strangers in the cars passin by
Some people may look at me and say that boy just aint right
Hey yall I aint crazy Im in a southern state of mind
I could be anywhere
In my heart Im always there
Where ya know everybody and if ya dont youre still polite
No changin who I am
Thats the way Ive always been
No matter what state Im in
Im 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 Im in
Im in a southern state of mind
Dont matter what state Im in
Im in a southern state of mind
