Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song for obvious reasons. I grew up in the south and then moved away and never went back. I always find myself thinking about my southern roots and my hometown and I miss it often. Though I realize now that I will never live there again, I know that it will always remain a part of me.

Song Description

This song is about a woman who was raised in the south, but then moved away and never went back home to live again. The small town where she grew up is the narrator in this song. The town asks her when she'll be back for good and the town lets her know that it'll always remain a part of her even though she has gone.

Lyrics

Southern Woman

I raised you a southern woman, I caught you when you fell
I gave you all my beauty, and I know you loved me well.
But you left me in the summer, and you?ve yet to return home
A day or two just doesn?t do it, for I raised you as my own

I am old and I am new
I am always a part of you

(First Chorus)
my southern woman 2x
you are my southern woman
and I remain your faithful hometown

My autumn leaves are golden
My autumn brings you near
'cause you love to see me when the winter?s here

I hold your childhood, and with that your pride
We?ve got a history that can?t be denied

my southern woman 2x
you are my southern woman
You?ll always be
You are my southern woman 2x
as my leaves turn brown, I remain your faithful hometown

When the springtime comes, there are few who have more grace
For in the south my hills roll, red mountains rule the place
I feel the sun and I feel the rain
I grow so beautiful, I know you call my name

You are my southern woman 3x
You?ll always be
You are my southern woman 2x
as my leaves turn brown, I remain your faithful hometown
