Southern Man

Say, oh, whoa-oh

I love me a Southern man, hmm

Back in the day, I heard an old woman say (I heard an old woman say)

Ain't nothing like a Southern man

(Nothing like a South man)

I asked her how she could tell 'em apart

She put her hand right on her heart

By the way that he wears his pants

(By the way that he wears his pants, yeah)

Now she was talking in riddles so deep

I thought she was talking 'bout his jeans

So Mr. Charlie walked up with a smile on his face

And now I see just what she mean

That man got a smooth walk

He kinda growl when he talks

Ain't shy to no hard work

He loves his mama and he go to church (ooh, ooh, ooh)

He don't care if them kids is his, he gon' raise 'em like they is

It's hard to find one but if you can

You better get you a Southern man

That woman was so proud with that man on her arm

Had me tryna chase him down

All over town to see if he had a son (ooh-ooh, ooh)

She said, "Charlie ain't perfect, he's just a man, but he's everything I need"

And now I want nothing other than a smooth Southern brother

That's head over heels for me

I took that woman at her word

And now I'm happy as can be

And if you listen to what we're saying to you

You'll see just what we mean

A Southern man got a smooth walk

He kinda growls when he talks

Ain't shy to no hard work

He loves his mama and he go to church (ooh, ooh, ooh)

He don't care if them kids is his (no, no)

'Cause he gon' raise 'em like they is (like they is)

It's hard to find one but if you can

You better get you a Southern man

Now say oh-whoa, oh-whoa (oh-whoa)

I love me a Southern man (my Southern man)

Ooh, yes, I do
