Lyrics
Southern Woman
I raised you a southern woman, I caught you when you fell
I gave you all my beauty. I know you loved me well.
But you left me in the summer, and you’ve yet to return home
A day or two just doesn’t do it, for I raised you as my own
I am old and I am new
I am always a part of you
First Chorus
My southern woman 3x
and I remain your faithful hometown
My autumn leaves are golden
My autumn brings you near
You love to see me when the winter’s here
I hold your childhood, and with that your pride
We’ve got a history that can’t be denied
Chorus
You are my southern woman 3x
You’ll always be
You are my southern woman 2x
as my leaves turn brown, I remain your faithful hometown
When the springtime comes, there are few who have more grace
For in the south my hills roll, red mountains rule the place
I feel the sun and I feel the rain
I grow so beautiful, I know you call my name
Chorus
