Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
Maybe Oklahoma plowing up some ground
Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast
Maybe Alabama driving thru Montgomery right now
There's something 'bout a boy from the South

Maybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pine
Maybe on the delta throwing out a line
Maybe he's in Georgia, staring at the stars
Maybe Tennessee picking on a guitar right now
There's something 'bout a boy from the south

Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only 16
And he kissed me underneath the China-berry tree
Said "Goodnight darling," with a sweet southern drawl
Man, I think I might just have to love them all 
My boys from the South

Maybe in Kentucky, working in the mine
Maybe down in Little Rock, just to pass the time
Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans
Living it up in the Big Easy right now
There's something 'bout a boy from the South

Yeah, the first time I felt it I was only 16
And he kissed me underneath the China-berry tree
Said "Goodnight darling," with a sweet southern drawl
Man, I think I might just have to love them all 
My boys from the South

Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
My boys from the South
