Southern State Of Mind Lyrics - Charleston, Sc 1966 - Darius Rucker

I was up in New York City just the other week 

You should've seen the waitress face when I ordered sweet tea 

She said we don't have that here and I apologized 

I said please forgive me I'm in a southern state of mind

And those girls out in California they don't understand 

They don't like it when I hold the door or when I say yes ma'am 

They act like I done something wrong and they give me the evil eye 

I say honey I'm sorry I'm in a southern state of mind 

(Chorus) 

I could be anywhere 

In my heart I'm always there 

Where they drink sweet tea and they raise you to be polite 

No changin' who I am 

That's the way I've always been 

No matter what state I'm in 

I'm in a southern state of mind 

I'm always walkin' round tellin' everybody hi 

Just a wavin' at the strangers in the cars passin' by 

Some people may look at me and say that boy just ain't right 

Hey y'all I ain't crazy I'm in a southern state of mind 

Repeat Chorus

You can see it in the clothes I wear, you can hear it when I talk 

Ball cap, boots and jeans and a little southern drawl 

I could be up in Ohio or back home in Caroline 

No matter what state I'm in 

I'm in a southern state of mind 

Don't matter what state I'm in 

I'm in a southern state of mind 

A southern state of mind
