SOUTHERN WAYS: Get out your “guit-fiddles” and washboards, this is honky-tonk through and through. Up-tempo with a rebel spirit, this Southern man’s freedom song makes you want to dance around a bale of hay and drink White Lightnin’ straight out the jug. You can’t tie this man down no way, no how and the backing track to his life is filled with honky-tonk piano that goes toe to toe with the driving country guitar licks.
Lyrics
I'll spend my last dollar bill on a case of booze, drink all night and figure out ways to lose. That's what a man like me supposed to do. We don't give a damn and we live any way we choose. I'll spend my life just as free from the chains. The ones that keep me from my Southern ways. Life's too short and ain't worth livin', if you can't use what you've been given, in time, you're gonna lose your Southern way of life. I fell in love with Betty Sue. She weren't that purdy but she knew just what to do. Her mama said don't marry that fool. He don't give a damn and he do anything he choose. I'll live my life just as free from the chains. The ones that keep me from my Southern ways. Life's too short and ain't worth livin', if you can't use what you've been given, in time, you're gonna lose your Southern way of life. Don't wanna lose our Southern way of life.
