Southern Native

Down in the swamps of Florida is where I feel right at home
Hangin' with my Seminole brothers we where trying to roll the bones

Drove all night in the pouring rain just to make a dime
Headed on up to New Orleans selling prayers and shine

Got my laid back living and rainy nights
My sweet street justice shining on my life
I'm a southern native born and bred when I die
By God I'll be southern dead

I got a suitcase full of pictures
Reflections of my youth
Music is my saving grace
My guitar just told the truth

Daddy was a Native American man
Momma was a southern belle
Memphis blues and old tattoos things I know so well

Like that laid back living and rainy nights
My sweet street justice shining on my life
I'm a southern native born and bred when I die
By God I'll be southern dead

We're all celebrated
We're southern to the bone
Texas to Carolina I'll take 95 back home

I see the light of the Georgia moon telling me where to go
Hear the call of the voodoo child, politician money man
Leave alone our sacred land

And laid back living and rainy nights
My sweet street justice shining on my life
I'm a southern native born and bred
Southern native born and bred
I'm a southern native born and bred when I die
By God I'll be southern dead
Southern native born and bred southern native born and bred
