Drinkin’ from a Mason jar
shows where you’re from and who you are.
You know you’re from the South
when those ringed rims touch your mouth.
You know a true Southerner you are
when you drink your sweet tea from a jar.
Fill it to the top with ice -
fresh made Luzianne - that’s my advice!
Sitting on a white painted porch in mid-July,
sun is high and you’re feeling dry.
Sipping on tart lemonade
with crushed cold ice and in a Mason jar made.
The genteel gents with the Southern drawl
drink the perfect Mint Julep made without a flaw.
Crushed mint leaves, sugar, bourbon and brandy,
ten days in a turned over Mason jar makes it just dandy.
Drinkin’ from a Mason jar
shows where you’re from and who you are.
You know you’re from the South
when those ringed rims touch your mouth.
