Southern Voice

Written by: Bob DiPero and Tommy Douglas

Performed by: Tim McGraw

 

Hank Williams sang it, Number 3 drove it
Chuck Berry twanged it, Will Faulkner wrote it
Aretha Franklin sold it, Dolly Parton graced it
Rosa Parks rode it, Scarlett O. chased it

 

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis down to Apalachicola
It's "Hi y'all, did ya eat?

Well, come on in. I'm sure glad to know ya"

Don't let this old gold cross
And this Allman Brothers t-shirt throw ya
It's cicadas making noise
With the Southern voice

 

Hank Aaron smacked it, Michael Jordan dunked it
Pocahontas tracked it, Jack Daniels drunk it
Tom Petty rocked it, Dr. King paved it
Bear Bryant won it, Billy Graham saved it

 

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis down to Apalachicola
It's "Hi y'all, did ya eat?
Well, come on in. I'm sure glad to know ya"

Don't let this old gold cross
And this Crimson Tide t-shirt throw ya
It's cicadas making noise
With the Southern voice

 

Jesus is my friend, America is my home
Sweet iced tea and Jerry Lee
Daytona Beach, that's what gets to me
I can feel it in my bones

 

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis down to Apalachicola
It's "Hi y'all, did ya eat?
 Well, come on in. I'm sure glad to know ya"

Don't let this old gold cross
And this Charlie Daniels t-shirt throw ya
We're just boys making noise

With the Southern voice, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Southern voice
I got a Southern voice
Southern voice
