G
I'm not a cowboy riding out a sunset
F                 C
I've never been a John Wayne
G
I'm not a trucker goin' down the interstate
F                C
Livin' life in a four lane
G
When I'm mad you'll know
F                 C
I'm like a bull at a rodeo
G
This blood runs deep
F                         C
There's some things you should know about me


[Chorus]

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


[Post-Chorus]

G
I got roots down in Alabama
F                    C
I got friends up in Tennessee
G
Wild child but I mind my manners (ooh-ooh)
F           C
A southern curiousity


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

G
I was born under the Mason Dixon (Mason Dixon)
F                          C
Muddy Water runnin' through my veins (my veins)

Dont give a damn what you think about me


[Post-Chorus]

G
I got roots down in Alabama
F                    C
I got friends up in Tennessee
G
Wild child but I mind my manners (ooh-ooh)
F          C
A southern curiousity


[Bridge]

G

F          C

G

F                C

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


[Chorus]

G
I was born under the Mason Dixon
F                          C

Oooooh wooooh ooohhhhh
G      F      C
Oooooh wooooh ooohhhhh
G           F     C
Curiousity eeeeeeeee
