I was born, I was blessed, tight place, right time, I guess
Ain't no good reason why I left except to run and roam
Would you take me back and take me in, let me be your child again?
Kiss my cheek, forgive my sins, and let me call you home?

Oh, I may stay here for a while

If I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna fly down south
If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
South is where my momma lives
Where my little piece of heaven is
If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
If I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
And figure out what I lost and found down south

Religion and me don't always agree but I sure love my maker
Sounds just like a gospel song when I sing my little prayer
Got rocks in my shoes, holes in my soul
I'm covered in dirt from head to toe
From walking along this winding road to follow me back to here

Oh, I may stay here for a while

If I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna fly down south
If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
South is where my momma lives
Where my little piece of heaven is
If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
If I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
And figure out what I lost and found down south

Oh, I may stay here for a while

If I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna fly down south
If I'm gonna drive, I'm gonna find a small town
South is where my momma lives
Where my little piece of heaven is
If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream your face
If I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to that place
And figure out what I lost and found down south

Down south, born and raised
Down south, where I learned to pray
Down south is where I'll stay, down south
Down south, born and raised
Down south, where I learned to pray
Down south is where I'll stay, down south

Got rocks in my shoes, holes in my soul
I'm covered in dirt from head to toe
