Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
Maybe Oklahoma plowin' up some ground
Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast,
Maybe Alabama drivin' through Montgomery right now
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South
Maybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pines,
Maybe on the delta throwin' out a line,
Maybe he's in Georgia, starin' at the stars,
Maybe Tennessee pickin' on a guitar right now,
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South
Chorus:
Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only sixteen,
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
Said "Goodnight, darlin," with a sweet southern drawl.
Man, I think I might just have to love them all-
My boys from the South.
Maybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine,
Maybe down in Little Rock just to pass the time.
Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans,
Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now.
There's somethin' bout a boy from the South.
Chorus:
Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only sixteen,
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
Said "Goodnight, darlin," with a sweet southern drawl.
Man, I think I might just have to love them all-
My boys from the South.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town.
My boys from the South
