Southern Pride - Gary Jeffries

I woke up early this morning

Realizing what I’d done

Left my dream in Chicago

Packed my bags, off the bus And I’d run

People say I’m just a little bit crazy

And always having too much pride

No man change the way I am

After twenty years it’s do or must die

Doncha know that my daddy taught me well

Said son have your own piece of mind

You know I do, yes I do, yes I do

Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride

Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride

Oh yeah that record man

Says he’ll make a big star outta me

Gonna give me that big fine bus

With all those luxuries

I’m doing gigs in every city

Cross this mighty fine U S of A

But that damn ol record man Never worried about my pay

Doncha know that my daddy taught me well

Said son have your own piece of mind

You know I do, yes I do, yes I do

So I hit that southbound road

Lord, I left those rock star dreams behind

Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride

Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride

(I'm standing up for what I believe in)

Doncha know that my daddy taught me well

Said son have your own piece of mind

You know I do, yes I do, yes I do

So I hit that South bound road

Lord, I left those rock star dreams behind

Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride

Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride

(Sometimes that’s all you got, man)
