The South

I was born in Virginia
I live in Tennessee
Grandma came from Carolina
But I was raised in New Jersey
It's just something about the air down here
So much easier to breathe
And damn sure ain't ashamed of where I come from
But I ain't ever gonna leave

The south is where my heart is home
I can't tell you why it feels so right
To be under the tall pines in the fields of white

Sister lives in Brooklyn
Mom and Dad moved to the shore
Some old friends stayed in our hometown
Wish I got to see them more
I spent the last four years driving
Sleeping on a couch
And I seen the way all kinds of people
Live in all kinds of different towns

The south is where my heart is home
I can't tell you why it feels so right
To be under the tall pines in the fields

The south is where my heart is home
I can't tell you why it feels so right
To be under the tall pines in the fields of white
