  • I was born, I was blessed
    Right place, right time, I guess
    Ain't no good reason why I left
    Except to run and roam

    Would you take me back and take me in
    Let me be your child again?
    Kiss my cheek, forgive my sins
    And let me call you home?

    Oh, I may stay here for awhile

    If I'm gonna fly, gonna fly down south
    If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
    South is where my momma lives
    Where my lil piece of heaven is
    If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
    I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
    And figure out what I lost and found down south

    Religion and me don't always agree
    But I sure love my maker
    Sounds just like a gospel song
    When I sing my lil prayer

    Got rocks in my shoes, holes in my soul
    I'm covered in dirt from head to toe
    From walking along this winding road
    That brought me back to here

    Oh, I may stay here for awhile

    If I'm gonna fly, gonna fly down south
    If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
    South is where my momma lives
    Where my lil piece of heaven is
    If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
    I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
    And figure out what I lost and found down south

    Oooooh oh oh oh, nananana
    Oooooh oh oh oh, nananana
    Oh, I may stay here for awhile

    If I'm gonna fly, gonna fly down south
    If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
    South is where my momma lives
    Where my lil piece of heaven is
    If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
    I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
    And figure out what I lost and found down south

    Down south

    Oooooh oh oh oh, nananana
    Oooooh oh oh oh, nananana

    Down south, born and raised
    Down south where I learned to pray
    Down south is where I'll stay
    Down south

    Down south, born and raised
    Down south where I learned to pray
    Down south is where I'll stay
