Well I've hopped a train, I've rode a plane I've been all around this land It may sound strange, but I've never changed A single bit of who I am, been called a rambler And a gambler I'm even known for writin' songs I've been up and down, been lost and found But the one thing I've been all along is a southern man Born to lose but the blues made me a guitar man Scratchin' out a livin' in a honky-tonk with a five piece band No matter where I am I'm a Southern man Well I don't get shook by the dirty looks I get when I open my mouth 'Cause I'm a slow talkin' Proud walkin' Bonafide simple son of the south Been with high class, champagne glass Women all around this world But I was born a sucker for Red clay, little country girl I'm a Southern man Born to lose but the blues made me a guitar man Scratchin' out a livin' in a honky-tonk with a five piece band No matter where I am, I'm your southern man Ah yeah Ah yeah Woo-hoo, hoo I'm a southern man Born to lose but the blues made me a guitar man Just scratchin' out a livin' in a honky-tonk with a five piece band No matter where I am I wear the brand of a southern man And this southern man, this southern man No, this southern man
