[Verse 1]
Now when living in the fast laneStarts to get the best of meYou know, it does me good just to go back homeSit in the shades of a magnolia tree
[Chorus]Cause I’ve got deep southern rootsYes, I’ve got deep southern rootsYou better believe her[Verse 2]Now I love those New York womenAnd I could live there for a whileBut when it gets down to it, I’ll take a Carolina girlAnd ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ on my radio dial![Chorus]Cause I’ve got deep southern roots
Yes, I’ve got deep southern rootsAnd there ain’t a thing that I can’t doCause they’re in my soul, those deep down ol’ southern roots[Verse 3]Now way down in SavannahThey say ‘yes sir’ and ‘yes ma’am’You know, that’s still true up in LouisvilleDown in Baton Rouge and in Birmingham![Chorus]Cause we’ve got deep southern rootsYes, we’ve got deep southern roots
And there ain’t a thing that we can’t doCause they’re in our soul, those deep downDeep southern roots!Yes, we’ve got deep southern roots!And there ain’t a thing that we can’t doCause they’re in our soul, those deep down(repeat – fade out)[Spoken outro during fadeout]And all my friends over (sorry, still working on the city names, Ronnie talks a bit fast)All away from Miami Florida!Up to Atlanta Georgia!Richmond Virginia!
