[Verse 1]
I don't know nothin' bout nothing
But my own misery
Oh, I've been dreaming of swinging
From that old palmetto tree
Yeah, I've been thinking about making tracks
But the only road I know
It's going to lead me back

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in the South
I'm stuck in the South
I'm stuck in the South

[Verse 2]
I don't know nothin' 'bout Southern belles
But I can tell you something 'bout Southern hell
When your skin give 'em cause
To take and take
I've been itching like a bitch with fleas
And I've been too cold in the summer heat
Saying, "Please, get me out
Lord God, put me down"

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in the South
I'm stuck in the South
I'm stuck in the South
[Verse 3]
Clean my room
I'm gonna dust my broom
Yeah, I'm leaving soon
Yeah, I'm leaving soon
I'm gonna sing my blues
I'm bleached and blue
Yeah, I'm leaving soon

[Chorus]
I can't get stuck in the South
I'm stuck in the South
Oh, I'm stuck in the South
