I gotta do it some more time
So we can stay for a while
I gotta do it on my own
Stay in, create something I might like

From just a poor guy from the south
My expectations could put me
in some rings of fire
I'm just quite enough
About mistakes I haven't learned
I have no talent at all to require

Just a guy from the south

Oh, I feel so insecure
My daddy's not alright
My mommy wants me to get a diploma
So she feels I'm fine
And I want to get inside your habits
Oh life will be so nice
But how can I?

I'm just a poor guy from the south
My expectations could put me
in some rings of fire
I'm just quite enough
About mistakes I haven't learned
I have no talent at all to require

Give me I want it
When I want it I mean it
When I want it I mean it
I just want it to stay alright

If I have to go
When I want it I mean it
When I want it I mean it
I just want it to stay alright
