Ain't about my pistol
Ain't about my boots
Ain't about no northern trials
Ain't about my southern roots
Ain't about my guitars in the back my big
It ain't rained in weeks but the weather sure feels damp
Ain't about excuses or alibies
It ain't about no cotton fields or cotton pickin' lies
Ain't about the races the...
To the f___in' rich man all poor people look the same

Don't get me wrong
It just ain't right
I ain't too strong
But I aint afraid to fight
If you wanna live another day
Stay out the way of the southern thing

Ain't about no hatred dir..
It's a little 'bout some rebels
But it about the past
Ain't about no foolish pride
Ain't about no flag
Hate's the only thing my truck would want to drag

You think I'm dumb
Maybe not too bright
You wonder how I sleep at night
Proud of the glory
Stare down the shame
Duality of the southern thing

My great-great granddad had a hole in his side
He used to tell the story to the family Christmas night
Got shot at Shiloh thought he'd die alone
By a yankee bullet less than thirty miles from home
Ain't no plantation in my family tree
The devil even thought that all men should be free
But who .....
His bride could hear the cannons
And she worried about her man

I heard the story
As it was passed down
Bout guts and glory
And Rebel stands
Marchin the races
Whole lot has changed
Robert E. Lee
Martin Luther King
We come a long way
Risin' from the flames

Stay out the way of the southern thing
Stay out the way of the southern thing
Stay out the way of the southern thing
Stay out the way of the southern thing
