[Verse 1]
    Asus2                                                               
You say you're from the planet where the tea ain't sweet
        Asus2                                                               
You've never seen a chicken that's fried
       Asus2                                             
You've never been up in a big ole live oak tree
       Asus2                           
You've never heard of Charlie Pride
     E                             
I'm feelin' sorry for ye cause you been missin' out
       D *
You've made me realize how good my life is, thank the Lord 


[Chorus]
             Asus2           
I'm from the Deep South,  let me take you there
Asus2                          
Screamin' down a backroad like we don't care
              D                   
I'm from the Deep South, we ain't meanin' no harm
Asus2                     
     Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
    E                              E
We ain't got much of nothin but we sure is proud
       D *
Y'all better listen up you heard it straight from my mouth
              Asus2         
I'm from the Deep South
             Asus2         N.C.
I'm from the Deep South


[Verse 2]
     Asus2                       
Down in the land of cotton and a front porch screen
Asus2
That's where mama likes to shuck the corn
       D
And I'll sit out there with her and sing her a tune
  Asus2
Play it on my old guitar
    E
I'm in the church house every sunday in the same ole pew
       D *  
After that we'll go out and eat my favorite barbecue


[Chorus]
             Asus2           
I'm from the Deep South,  let me take you there
Asus2                          
Screamin' down a backroad like we don't care
              D                   
I'm from the Deep South, we ain't meanin' no harm
Asus2                     
     Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
    E                              E
We ain't got much of nothin but we sure is proud
       D *
Y'all better listen up you heard it straight from my mouth

[Solo]
              Asus2         
I'm from the Deep South     yeah  
             Asus2         
I'm from the Deep South     yeah

[Verse 3]
N.C.
I'll get all dressed up and we'll go out on the town
      N.C
High steppin' in my cowboy boots
       N.C
We'll come back to the country and kick it back
N.C.
Sit and talk about my roots
              E
There's been seven generations livin' life on this land
            D * 
I thank my lucky stars that I was born a southern man


[Chorus]
             Asus2           
I'm from the Deep South,  let me take you there
Asus2                          
Screamin' down a backroad like we don't care
              D                   
I'm from the Deep South, we ain't meanin' no harm
Asus2                     
     Me and my baby makin' out in the barn
    E                              E
We ain't got much of nothin but we sure is proud
       D *
Y'all better listen up you heard it straight from my mouth
              Asus2         Asus2
I'm from the Deep South     yeah
             Asus2
