Southern
Southern Spirit: A Tale of Mud, Moonlight, and Southern Pride
Lyrics
Born amongst the Glades of the south
Born in the southern swamps or rural areas.
Tied to action don't run my mouth
Prefer action over talking.
Mud walk over to alligator lake
Walking through mud to reach Alligator Lake.
Jump right in like a cottonmouth snake
Jumping into the lake fearlessly, like a cottonmouth snake.
Warm my blood in the mid day sun
Enjoying the warmth of the midday sun.
Crack a few cold ones for the day is done
Cracking open cold drinks at the end of the day.
May not be baby what you want to hear
May not speak what others want to hear.
But god damn that's how we do it all year
Expressing a carefree, unconventional lifestyle.
Nooooooo you don't really know
Emphasizing that others may not understand.
How a southern man roll
Describing the distinctive way a southern man lives.
Nooooooo you don't really know
Repetition for emphasis on the uniqueness of the lifestyle.
How a southern man roll
Reiteration of the distinctive nature of a southern man's life.
Fire glowing in the dark wild night
Depicting a lively, wild night with a glowing fire.
A pull of shine and we all burn bright
Reference to moonshine, symbolizing a shared experience.
Lighting bugs and the stars in the sky
Observing natural elements like fireflies and stars.
But none shine brighter than the moon in your eyes
Highlighting the brightness of a loved one's eyes.
Blackberry Smoke on the car radio
Listening to Blackberry Smoke on the car radio, indicating a specific music preference.
Ignore that whippoorwill calling you home
Ignoring distractions, represented by the whippoorwill calling.
The nightjar ain't a thing to fear
Downplaying fears, such as the nightjar, to enjoy life.
Just some good ol' boys drinking cold beer
Typifying camaraderie with friends over cold beer.
Nooooooo you don't really know
Reiteration that others may not understand the southern way of life.
How a southern man roll
Emphasizing the unique lifestyle of a southern man.
Nooooooo you don't really know
Repetition for emphasis on the distinctive nature of a southern man's life.
How a southern man roll
Reiterating the distinctive lifestyle of a southern man.
