They say heroes get remembered But legends never die Our forefathers stood for something King Jesus and southern pride Where I come from things haven’t changed We’re still living in them good ole days Well if you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say When them good ole boys bring the noise Small town USA We ain’t got a life but we love what we got And we always gon’ keep it that way If you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say There ain’t no shame in getting dirty There ain’t no problem with clocking in till the 9 to 5 ‘Cause we’re out in the backwoods on the weekends And breaking in them Mickey Thompson’s on a four-wheel drive Hell, where I come from we do things right Work all day and party all night
If you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say And them good ole boys bring the noise Down in small town USA We ain’t got a life but we love what we got And we always gon’ keep it that way If you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say If you don’t like how we do things we don’t care And it’s a different kinda world we’re living down here And before our meals we still say grace And I’ll probably tell you to your face If you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say When them good ole boys bring the noise Down in small town USA We ain’t got a life but we love what we got And we always gon’ keep it that way And if you ain’t bout the south, shut your mouth You ain’t got nothing to say
