I tried to imagin what kind of song I'd write for Lynyrd Skynyrd and thought of the perception northerners have of southerners.

Don't try to put one over me just because I'm fron the South / I tell you son you better wash your hands and you better watch your mouth /
Won't you lose your Yanky hostility for some Southern hospitality

Oh I'm a son of a preacher born in the bible belt / Down where the good book teaches you to take the hand you're dealt / Yeah I'm a son of a preacher born in the bible belt / Oh I'm a son of a preacher fixing to raise a little hell

I come from the country south of the Mason-Dixon line / I'm living in southern comfort and the southern Bell's are fine / Won't you lose your Yanky hostility for some Southern hospitality

Oh I'm a son of a preacher born in the bible belt / Down where the good book teaches you to take the hand you're dealt / Yeah I'm a son of a preacher born in the bible belt / Oh I'm a son of a preacher looking to raise a little hell
