Southern State of Mind

John played this song for me the first time yesterday and i am in love with it! It's pretty much how I feel down here. People just dont get me- I'm nice, polite, hold doors for people,use my blinker, say please and thank you, etc. People in Miami are just not like that. the are rude. it's taken me awhile to see it because I am usually only on campus, but the truth always comes out eventually. lol

So here are the lyrics and Video:D

I was up in New York City just the other week
You should've seen the waitress face when I ordered sweet tea
She said we don't have that here and I apologized
I said please forgive me I'm in a southern state of mind

And those girls out in California they don't understand
They don't like it when I hold the door or when I say yes ma'am
They act like I done something wrong and they give me the evil eye
I say honey I'm sorry I'm in a southern state of mind

I could be anywhere
In my heart I'm always there
Where they drink sweet tea and they raise you to be polite
No changin' who I am
That's the way I've always been
No matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind

I'm always walkin' 'round tellin' everybody hi
Just a wavin' at the strangers in the cars passin' by
Some people may look at me and say that boy just ain't right
Hey y'all I ain't crazy I'm in a southern state of mind

I could be anywhere
In my heart I'm always there
Where they drink sweet tea and they raise you to be polite
No changin' who I am
That's the way I've always been
No matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind

You can see it in the clothes I wear you can hear it when I talk
Ball cap, boots and jeans and a little southern drawl
I could be up in Ohio or back home in Caroline
No matter what state I'm inI'm in a southern state of mind
Don't matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind
A southern state of mind

Thank you Darius Rucker! Now I am even more homesick! haha
