I grew up along way from here
|
I slept with the lights on for fifteen years
|
And Sabbath kept me home on Friday nights
|
and Daddy sang me Rodgers
|
just to make everything alright
|
My town wasn't even on the map
|
You could pass right through it in twenty seconds flat
|
But the south was like the whole world to me
|
it wasn't easy to stay but it was harder to leave
|
|
Yeah I was a south bound child
|
Yeah I had a small town life
|
But I turned out alright in the north
|
Livin' that southern kind of life
|
|
Old friends and bibles filled the house
|
no room for money and no money anyhow
|
deprived was something we always heard
|
but to me and my brother it was just another word
|
|
I use to think the north was the end
|
Cause people go there and they don't come back again
|
but my father's father was a man of the sea
|
He lived a southern life two blocks away from me
|
|
Yeah I was a south bound child
|
Yeah I had a small town life
|
But I turned out alright in the north
|
Livin' that southern kind of life
|
|
Yeah I was a south bound child
|
Yeah I had a small town life
|
But I turned out alright in the north
|
Livin' that southern kind of life
