I wasn't raised where the gulf winds blow
Where the cotton grows fast and the drawls are slow
I ain't from Dxie but in my heart I know
I'm a southern girl

When I talk to my momma I always say yes ma'am
And like Rhett told Scarlet I don't give a damn
What state I was born in I know I am
A southern girl

Chorus

It's in my blood it's in my soul
It's where the man I love and I are gonna grow old
When I go to heaven I'm gonna leave this world
A southern girl

It's a beautiful place where I came from
Every now and then I still miss it some
But you live here long enough you become
A southern girl

I listened to country since I was two feet tall
I got a picture of Dolly hangin' on my wall
Like grits and sweet tea I swear ya'll
I'm a southern girl

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna live out the rest of my days
A northern born and raised southern girl
