Original Artist - Southern Girl guitar chord

Southern Girl

Stefanie Padgett 2003

Wake in the morning to a clean country breeze

Working real hard at this life of ease

Bare feet hit the cool hardwood floor

Get a family prepared to head out the door

A long goodbye kiss from the man she loves

A prayer to keep him safe to somewhere above

It’s a day in the life of a southern girl

Fishing, horses, trucks and boots

T-shirt and jeans at the turkey shoot

Long hair, soft skin, tanned in the sun

So full of life, so full of fun

If I could be anyone in the world

I’d still be a southern girl

Strumming her guitar on the front porch swing

In harmony with crickets as they sing

Kids fed and bathed and put to bed

A life long lover’s kisses upon her head

Laying beside him between crisp sheets

What better life could there ever be

It’s a day in the life of a southern girl
