Souther Soul Girl

A California girl
Barefoot on concrete
Fry an egg
Hot on my feet
Hide and seek in the fog
Running in fields of cotton
Sweet tea and sugared rice
My southern soul's a callin'

I like grits
Fried okra with my chicken
Cowboy boots
Get me kickin'
Lightning bugs and dragonflies
Sweet potatoes and rhubarb pies
Dusty roads long forgotten
Rows and rows of bleach white cotton

Moved midwest at age seven
In our beat up old Chevy
2000 miles acorss plains and mountains
Livin' life down by the levy
Small town Illinois home
FFA and John Deere Green
Flashlight tag and Kick-the-Can
Closer to a southern dream

A Valley girl
But with a southern soul
Can't keep her away
The south will call her home....

Mississippi, Georgia, Vacations in Alabama
Meetin' Vince Gill, Randy and Teddy
Fishin; and singin' Tennessee River
Now my soul is ready
Muggy nights and drenching rains
Southern crickets call me home
Sweet tea and sugared rice
Weeping willows bend and moan

I like grits
Fried okra with my chicken
Cowboy boots
Get me kickin'
Lightning bugs and dragonflies
Sweet potatoes and rhubarb pies
Dusty roads long forgotten
Rows and rows of bleach white cotton

Lightning bugs and dragonflies
Sweet potatoes and rhubarb pies
Dusty roads long forgotten
Rows and rows of bleach white cotton

A Valley girl
But with a southern soul
Can't keep her away
The south will call her home....
