[Verse 1]
I'm not a cowboy riding out a sunset
I’ve never been a John Wayne
I'm not a trucker goin' down the interstate
Living life in a four-lane
When I’m mad, you'll know
I'm like a bull at a rodeo
This blood runs deep
There's some things you should know about me

[Chorus]
I was born under the Mason Dixon
Muddy Water runnin' through my veins
Doesn't matter all the hell I'm raisin'
The Holy Spirit still carries me
Brought up by the sons and daughters
Rebel yell and the Cherokee
Say what you want about the life I’m livin’
Don't give a damn what you think about me

[Post-Chorus]
I got roots down in Alabama
I got friends up in Tennessee
Wild child but I mind my manners (Ooh-ooh)
A southern curiosity

[Verse 2]
Don’t read the gospel but I'm friends with Jesus
At my worst, He's always findin' me
I’ll be the first to the bottom of a bottle
'Cause the burn just feels so good to me
I do good when I can
I'll shoot you straight, I'm an honest man
Yes ma'am, hey y'all (Ooh-ooh)
I can't lie 'cause I say it all

[Chorus]
I was born under the Mason Dixon (Mason Dixon)
Muddy Water running through my veins (My veins)
Doesn't matter all the hell I'm raisin' (Oh-oh, oh)
The Holy Spirit still carries me
Brought up by the sons and daughters (Sons and daughters)
Rebel yell and the Cherokee (Cherokee)
Say what you want about the life I'm living (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't give a damn what you think about me
[Post-Chorus]
Got roots down in Alabama (He got roots)
I got friends up in Tennessee (He got friends)
Wild child but I mind my manners (Ooh-ooh)
A southern curiosity
Hey, yeah
(He got roots)
I've got friends (He got friends)

[Bridge]
Brought up by the sons and daughters
From the church of the Nazarene
But late at night just in case they wonder
It's a strong man holdin' me

[Chorus]
I was born under the Mason Dixon
Muddy Water runnin' through my veins
Doesn't matter all the hell I'm raisin'
The Holy Spirit still carries me (Oh-oh)
Brought up by the sons and daughters (Sons and daughters)
A rebel yell and the Cherokee (Cherokee)
Say what you want about the life I'm livin'
Don't give a damn what you think about me

[Post-Chorus]
I got roots down in Alabama (He got roots)
I got friends up in Tennessee (He got friends)
A wild child but I mind my manners
A southern curiosity
[Outro]
Curiosity
(I'm a southern curiosity)
(I'm a southern curiosity)
(Drinking bourbon, someone pass the weed)
(I'm a southern curiosity)
