Southern Thang

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down south, we greet with weight “wassup boss,” that’s how we relate “Hoss” in the morning, “what up big Dogg” Same front porch, same old song If I know yo mama and nem Then boy sit down, don’t talk too slim I know your peoples, I know that grin You ain’t new here, you kin to them [Pre-Chorus] It’s a nod and a grin It’s a slow-burn spin One look, I know where you been This old dirt runs deep in my skin [Chorus] It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah Say it how you say That’s a southern thang It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah From the porch to the lane That’s a southern thang [Verse 2] Grandmama’s screen door hangs on a squeak Red clay dust on my Sunday shoes each week Tailgate talk by the county road bend You say less words, but it all depends On the way you look, on the way you nod On the way you say “brother” and call that God If I know your people, then we don’t pretend We already family by the time you end [Pre-Chorus] It’s a nod and a grin It’s a slow-burn spin One look, I know where you been This old dirt runs deep in my skin [Chorus] It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah Say it how you say That’s a southern thang It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah From the porch to the lane That’s a southern thang [Bridge] Well, it ain’t code, it’s a way we live A little respect and a whole lot of give You can call me hoss, I’ll call you the same We all got roots in this little town name [Chorus] It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah Say it how you say That’s a southern thang It’s a southern thang Southern thang, yeah From the porch to the lane That’s a southern thang [Outro] wassup boss hoss what up big Dogg It’s a southern thang
