Alan Jackson - Ain't Just a Southern Thing lyrics

I left my home in Georgia Took a dream and a dollar Went looking for that fortune and fame Well I found it up in Nashville With the guitars and the fiddles Started singing 'cross the U.S. of A I'd played my songs in Georgia Way down there in Florida Once or twice in New Orleans But the sounds I was making Didn't know that I'd be taking them to places that's so far and strange But the people really dug it no matter where we strummed it I felt that it would be ok Cause I learned right away It ain't just a southern thang Now I've played in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thang, y'all I've seen cowgirls a plenty Up in New York City Milwaukee and in Philly PA They got the four wheel drives on that Minnesota ice Just like they have in Alabam A They're dancing and they're moving To the lyrics and the music From Maui up to Bangor Maine Lord it may sound strange But it ain't just a southern thang Yeah I've played up in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim The facts are plain It ain't just a southern thang I've played that country music On the land and the ocean But people can't say my name Yeah the fact remains It ain't just a southern thang Oh I've played up in Chicago and Western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Sante Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma And a TV show out in LA They got the hats and boots And country roots No matter what state they claim The facts are plain It ain't just a southern thang Oh it may sound strange It ain't just a southern thang Yeah the fact remains It ain't just a southern thang, y'all
