Still A Southern Man

There's a flag flying overhead

And I used to think it meant one thing

But now I've grown up and seen the world

And I know what it really means

I wanted it to be the symbol of a boy

Who wasn't scared to take a stand

But now I know it's just a hammer driving nails

In the coffin of a long dead land

Oh, and I can't take it anymore

But I'm still a southern man

I don't want your stars and bars

And your blood on my damn hands

I'm looking away now Dixie

Cause I've seen all I can stand

But I'm still a southern man

The line really ain't that thin

Between heritage and hate

One saying, "Yes Ma'am" and "Thank you"

And making sure you pull your own weight

The others what happens when you try to hold down

Anybody that ain't just like you

You can call it what you want

But it's a god damn shame

And I'm glad I finally see the truth

Oh, I can finally see the truth

But I'm still a southern man

I don't want your stars and bars

And your blood on my damn hands

I'm looking away now Dixie

Cause I've seen all I can stand

But I'm still a southern man

You say, "Where's your rebel pride boy?"

Well sorry Mister, it's all gone

That flag ain't never led to one thing good

Tear it down, I wanna tear it down

But I'm still a southern man

I'm looking away now Dixie

Cause I've seen all I can stand

But I'm still a southern man

But I'm still a southern man

But I'm still a southern man

I'm looking away now Dixie

Cause I've seen all I can stand

But I'm still a southern man

Oh, I'm still a southern man

Still a southern man
