Lyrics:

Well, I like to go fishin', I like my truck
I say God Bless You instead of good luck
I like to wear my hat, cocked to the side
Never been a gangsta', that's just how I ride
I'm straight up country if you ain't knowin'
Instead of sayin' hi, we say how's it goin'
I had a hot date she was thinking romancin'
Took her to a barbeque we ended square dancin'


Keep your Escalades, diamond rings
We got cowboy hats with boots and jeans
Fat Cadillac, bull horns on the hood
Left on the dirt road and welcome to my hood

Let me be your Southern Man
Catfish fried up in the pan
Don't be offended if I said "ma'am"
I'm just trying to be
Your Southern Man


Stepped out the house, boots on, straight limpin'
Down in the South We're rodeo pimpin'
Cheese on my eggs, butter with grits
We eat everything fried, you know how that is
I bought a Dodge truck, skipped on the Lexus
Came on a John Deere tractor from Texas
Sit back, relax your mind
Better bring your own money
'Cause you ain't spendin' mine


Keep your Escalades, diamond rings
We got cowboy hats with boots and jeans
Fat Cadillac, bull horns on the hood
Left on the dirt road and welcome to my hood

Let me be your Southern Man
Catfish fried up in the pan
Don't be offended if I said "ma'am"
I'm just trying to be
Your Southern Man


Country boy style, with the country boy tone
Holler from the porch, 'cause we don't use the phone
Down in the South, it's all about love
We don't shake hands, I greeted you with a hug
I got air conditionin' now I'm livin' grand
Back down in Bangs, used to have a box fan
This is the story, from which I came
I'm your Southern Man, Coffey's the name


Let me be your Southern Man
Catfish fried up in the pan
Don't be offended if I said "ma'am"
I'm just trying to be
Your Southern Man
