[Intro]
Down in the heart of the south, where the river runs deep
Got a fire, got a pride, and a promise to keep
[Verse 1]
Raised on sweet tea and good manners, but don’t get it twisted
You cross that line, girl, it’s a lesson you won’t forget
I wear my feelings like my badge, quick to love but hard to sway
Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness, or you’ll regret the day
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a southern queen, don’t play my game wrong
Got a shotgun heart, and I’m standing real strong
Put my heart on my sleeve, but I pack a punch too
In these southern streets, girl, I do what I do
[Chorus]
I’m a southern bitch, born and raised to fight
Love with all my heart, but I’ll defend my right
Don’t take my kindness for granted, better think twice
In the south, we teach manners, but we roll the dice
[Verse 2]
I’m a southern bitch, I live in the south. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but can punch a bitch in the mouth, don’t take my kindness for granted because if you come at me I’ll show you how we teach
You manners in the fucking south.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a southern queen, don’t play my game wrong
Got a shotgun heart, and I’m standing real strong
Put my heart on my sleeve, but I pack a punch too
In these southern streets, girl, I do what I do
[Chorus]
I’m a southern bitch, born and raised to fight
Love with all my heart, but I’ll defend my right
Don’t take my kindness for granted, better think twice
In the south, we teach manners, but we roll the dice
[Bridge]
It’s all love, but don’t get it confused
Respect the crown, or you’ll be singing the blues
Wild and sweet, with a little sugar and spice
I’ll show you how manners are taught in the south tonight
[Outro]
So remember my name, I’m the queen of this land
Heart on my sleeve, but I ain’t soft, honey, I’m grand
Respect my world or face the heat,
That’s the southern way
Baby
