Songs Title：the southern thing[00:00:01]

Ain't about my pistol[00:00:24]

Ain't about my boots[00:00:26]

Ain't about no northern drives[00:00:28]

Ain't about my southern roots[00:00:30]

Ain't about my guitars ain't about my big old amps[00:00:32]

＂It ain't rained in weeks but the weather sure feels damp＂[00:00:37]

Ain't about excuses or alibis[00:00:42]

Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies[00:00:47]

Ain't about the races the crying shame[00:00:51]

To the f**king rich man all poor people look the same[00:00:56]

Don't get me wrong It just ain't right[00:01:03]

May not look strong but I ain't afraid to fight[00:01:13]

If you want to live another day[00:01:22]

Stay out the way of the southern thing[00:01:29]

Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass[00:01:32]

It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past[00:01:35]

Ain't about no foolish pride Ain't about no flag[00:01:40]

Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag[00:01:45]

You think I'm dumb maybe not too bright[00:01:52]

You wonder how I sleep at night[00:02:02]

Proud of the glory stare down the shame[00:02:11]

Duality of the southern thing[00:02:17]

My Great Great Granddad had a hole in his side[00:02:39]

He used to tell the story to the family Christmas night[00:02:43]

Got shot at Shiloh thought he'd die alone[00:02:48]

From a Yankee bullet less than thirty miles from home[00:02:53]

Ain't no plantations in my family tree[00:02:58]

Did NOT believe in slavery thought that all men should be free[00:03:02]

＂But who are these soldiers marching through my land ＂[00:03:07]

His bride could hear the cannons and she worried about her man[00:03:11]

I heard the story as it was passed down[00:03:19]

About guts and glory and Rebel stands[00:03:28]

Four generations a whole lot has changed[00:03:37]

Robert E Lee[00:03:46]

Martin Luther King[00:03:51]

We've come a long way rising from the flame[00:03:55]

Stay out the way of the southern thing[00:04:02]
