A5 
Well it's easy for a country boy to be misunderstood 
         A5 
When the honky tonks are jumping and the girls are looking good 
A5   
Yeah, I get excited and some people think I'm rude 
         A5 
It's the way my daddy raised me it's my rebel attitude 
      D5                               A5   
I'm a southern boy, southern born and bred 
                                                     E5 
I've got Sweet Home Alabama buzzing all around in my head 
                     D5                      A5 
I'm right at home in Georgia or down in Caroline 
     B5                       D5                    A5       
Yeah I'd be happy anywhere below that Mason-Dixon line  
A working and a sweating 'til I hear that whistle blow 
Country rock a cooking on my pick-up radio 
I rush home for a shower and put on my dancing shoes 
I get the Friday fever and the Sunday morning blues 
 
Chorus 2: 
I'm a southern boy, I like a rowdy crowd 
Put Bocephus on the jukebox and turn that sucker way up loud 
Don't need a reservation, we're just a-having fun 
Yeah it's party time in Dixie, ya'll just come on down and get ya some 
 
Solo 
 
From Rockingham to Birmingham , Mobile to New Orleans 
Jacksonville to Copper Hill, Pike to Bowling Green 
Layfayette to Somerset, Boone to Rocky Mount 
If you don't live in Dixie then you're only camping out 
 
Chorus 3: 
I'm a southern boy, I say my sirs and ma'ams 
I'm kinda rough around the edges but I'm mighty proud of who I am 
Roll on Mississippi rock on Tennessee 
If it was good enough for Elvis you know it's good enough for me 
 
I said, if it was good enough for Elvis you know it's good enough for me 
Well if the King was crazy 'bout it then you know it's good enough for me
