Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
Maybe Oklahoma plowin' up some ground
Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast
Maybe Alabama drivin' through Montgomery right now
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South
Maybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pines
Maybe on the delta throwin' out a line
Maybe he's in Georgia, starin' at the stars
Maybe Tennessee pickin' on a guitar right now
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South
Chorus
Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only sixteen
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree
Said "Goodnight, darlin," with a sweet southern drawl
Man, I think I might just have to love them all
My boys from the South
Maybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine
Maybe down in Little Rock just to pass the time
Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans
Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South
Chorus
Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only sixteen
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree
Said "Goodnight, darlin," with a sweet southern drawl
Man, I think I might just have to love them all
My boys from the South
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
My boys from the South
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah!
