Just a Natural Thing - Patrice Rushen

They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thing, y'all I've seen cowgirls a plenty up in New York City Milwaukee and in Philly PA They got the four-wheel drives On that Minnesota ice Just like they have in Alabam-a They're dancing and they're moving To the lyrics and the music From Maui up to Bangor Maine Lord it may sound strange But it ain't just a southern thing Yeah I've played up in Chicago And western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And eastern Oklahoma And a TV-Show out in L.A. They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim All the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thing I've played that country music On the land and the ocean But people can't say my name Yeah, the fact remains It ain't just a southern thing Oh I've played up in Chicago And western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And eastern Oklahoma And a TV-Show out in L.A.
