Son Of A Southern Preacher's Daughter
Southern Pride: Echoes of Heritage and Honor in 'Son Of A Southern Preacher's Daughter'
Lyrics
I'm the son of a southern preacher's daughter
I am the son of a southern preacher's daughter.
And the proud grandson of an American soldier
I take pride in being the grandson of an American soldier.
A Louisiana momma and a Mississippi father
My parents are from Louisiana and Mississippi, respectively.
I'm the son of southern preacher's daughter
Reiteration of being the son of a southern preacher's daughter.
And I cut my teeth in the land of cotton
I grew up in the land of cotton.
And my childhood there will never be forgotten
My childhood experiences there are memorable and enduring.
I say y'all, yes ma'am, yes sir and you outta'
I use Southern expressions like "y'all," "yes ma'am," and "yes sir."
Yea I cut my teeth in the land of cotton
Reiteration of cutting teeth in the land of cotton.
My Dixie roots run deep, underneath my feet
My roots in the Southern culture are deeply embedded.
And I'm Southern by the grace of God
I identify as Southern by the grace of God.
Born South of the Mason Dixon line
I was born below the Mason-Dixon line.
I'll always salute when ol' glory's flying
I show respect by saluting when the American flag is flying.
For the brave's bloodshed and their families crying
Recognizing the sacrifices of the brave and the pain of their families.
You know all gave some but some that gave all
Some gave their all in service to the country.
For those Stars and Stripes I'll always stand tall
I will always stand tall for the Stars and Stripes.
My Dixie roots run deep, underneath my feet
Reiteration of deep Dixie roots.
And I'm Southern by the grace of God
Reiteration of identifying as Southern by the grace of God.
Born South of the Mason Dixon line
Reiteration of being born below the Mason-Dixon line.
And I won't back down if his truth offends you
I won't compromise my beliefs, even if they offend you.
So God, strengthen my heart, my nerve and my sinew
Asking God for strength in facing challenges to my convictions.
You know he gave his Son to show his love for you
Highlighting God's love demonstrated through the sacrifice of his Son.
No I won't back down if God's truth offends you
I won't back down from expressing God's truth, even if it offends you.
My Dixie roots run deep, underneath my feet
Reiteration of deep Dixie roots.
I'm Southern by the grace of God
Reiteration of identifying as Southern by the grace of God.
Born South of the Mason Dixon Line
Reiteration of being born below the Mason-Dixon line.
My Dixie roots run deep, underneath my feet
Reiteration of deep Dixie roots.
I'm Southern by the grace of God
Reiteration of identifying as Southern by the grace of God.
Born South of the Mason Dixon Line
Reiteration of being born below the Mason-Dixon line.
