G
I left my home in Georgia.  Took a dream and a dollar
                                   C
Went looking for that fortune and fame
            D
Well I found it up in Nashville With the guitars and the fiddles
                                  G
Started singing 'cross the U.S. of A
G
I'd played my songs in Georgia   Way down there in Florida
                          C
Once or twice in New Orleans
                        D
But the sounds I was making
                                                                 G
Didn't know that I'd be taking them to places that's so far and strange
 G
But the people really dug it no matter where we strummed it
                        C
I felt that it would be ok
           D
Cause I learned right away
                            G
It ain't just a southern thang


[Chorus]

            C
Now I've played in Chicago and Western Colorado
           G
And we kicked 'em dead in Sante Fe
C
Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma
       D
And a TV show out in A 
                G
They got the hats and boots And them country roots
                             C
No matter what state they claim
         D                                               G
Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain't just a southern thang


[Verse 2]

G
I've seen cowgirls a plenty ,Up in New York City
                         C
Milwaukee and in Philly PA
                  D
They got the four wheel drives on that Minnesota ice
                             G
Just like they have in Alabam A
G
They're dancing and they're moving, To the lyrics and the music
                         C
From Maui up to Bangor Maine
                      D
Lord it may sound strange
                              G
But it ain't just a southern thang


[Chorus]
            C
Now I've played in Chicago and Western Colorado
           G
And we kicked 'em dead in Sante Fe
C
Sung in North and South Dakota And Eastern Oklahoma
       D
And a TV show out in A 
                G
They got the hats and boots And them country roots
                             C
No matter what state they claim
         D                                               G
Yeah the facts are plain  ….It ain't just a southern thang


[Bridge]

G
I've played that country music…….On the land and the ocean
                          C
But people can't say my name

         D                               G
Yeah the fact remains……It ain't just a southern thang
