《The Southern Thing》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist：drive-by truckers

[00:00:01] Songs Title：the southern thing

[00:00:24] Ain't about my pistol

[00:00:26] Ain't about my boots

[00:00:28] Ain't about no northern drives

[00:00:30] Ain't about my southern roots

[00:00:32] Ain't about my guitars ain't about my big old amps

[00:00:37] ＂It ain't rained in weeks but the weather sure feels damp＂

[00:00:42] Ain't about excuses or alibis

[00:00:47] Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies

[00:00:51] Ain't about the races the crying shame

[00:00:56] To the f**king rich man all poor people look the same

[00:01:03] Don't get me wrong It just ain't right

[00:01:13] May not look strong but I ain't afraid to fight

[00:01:22] If you want to live another day

[00:01:29] Stay out the way of the southern thing

[00:01:32] Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass

[00:01:35] It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past

[00:01:40] Ain't about no foolish pride Ain't about no flag

[00:01:45] Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag

[00:01:52] You think I'm dumb maybe not too bright

[00:02:02] You wonder how I sleep at night

[00:02:11] Proud of the glory stare down the shame

[00:02:17] Duality of the southern thing

[00:02:39] My Great Great Granddad had a hole in his side

[00:02:43] He used to tell the story to the family Christmas night

[00:02:48] Got shot at Shiloh thought he'd die alone

[00:02:53] From a Yankee bullet less than thirty miles from home

[00:02:58] Ain't no plantations in my family tree

[00:03:02] Did NOT believe in slavery thought that all men should be free

[00:03:07] ＂But who are these soldiers marching through my land ＂

[00:03:11] His bride could hear the cannons and she worried about her man

[00:03:19] I heard the story as it was passed down

[00:03:28] About guts and glory and Rebel stands

[00:03:37] Four generations a whole lot has changed

[00:03:46] Robert E Lee

[00:03:51] Martin Luther King

[00:03:55] We've come a long way rising from the flame

[00:04:02] Stay out the way of the southern thing
