If the South woulda won....

Okay, so i heard this song on the radio today and, very slowly, this HUGE grin just spread across my face...I'm so proud to be southern. :D This is worth hearing on youtube, should you so desire...but here are the lyrics for your enjoyment.

If the South woulda won...

If the South would won
We'd a had it made
I'd probably run for president
Of the southern states

The day Elvis passed away
Would be our national holiday
If the South woulda won
We'd a had it made

I'd make my supreme court down in Texas
And we wouldn't have no killers gettin' off free
If they were proven guilty
Then they would swing quickly
Instead of writin' books and smilin' on TV

We'd all learn cajun cookin' in Louisiana
And I'd put that capital back in Alabama
We'd put Florida on the right track
'Cause we'd take Miami back
And throw all them pushers in the slammer

Oh, if the South woulda won
We'd a had it made
I'd probably run for president
Of the southern states

The day young Skynyrd died
We'd show our southern pride
If the South woulda won
We'd a had it made

I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee
And all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills
The national treasury
Would be in Tupelo, Mississippi
And I'd put Hank Williams' picture
On one hundred dollar bills

I'd have all the cars made in the Carolinas
And I'd ban all the ones made in China
I'd have every girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile
And talk with that southern accent that drives men wild

I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia
'Cause they sure can make 'em sounds so fine
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain and see old Clifton Clowers
And have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine

Hey if the South woulda won
We'd a had it made
I'd probably run for president
Of the southern states

When Patsy Cline passed away
That would be our national holiday
If the South woulda won
We'd a had it made

I said if the South woulda won
We'd a had it made

Might even be better off...

~Hank Williams, Jr.
