| 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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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 dont come back again
|
| But my fathers 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 |
