Southern Saturdays

Do you like Darius Rucker?? I have all the way back to the Hootie and the Blowfish days. Loved the music, maybe because the were good ole southern boys from SC. But now I love Darius Rucker since he has crossed over to country. His newest album:

Darius Rucker: Charleston, SC 1966 is a winner. Very rarely do I download a full "CD" on iTunes, but this one I could not resist. Every song is great, but this one song, it definitely puts me in "A Southern State of Mind".

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


(Chorus)
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


Repeat Chorus


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 in
I'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
