Small Town Southern Man




 Born the middle son of a farmer
 And a small town Southern man
 Like his daddy's daddy before him
 Brought up workin' on the land
 Fell in love with a small town woman
 And they married up and settled down
 Natural way of life if you're lucky
 For a small town Southern man


First there came four pretty daughters
 For this small town Southern man
 Then a few years later came another
 A boy, he wasn't planned
 Seven people livin' all together
 In a house built with his own hands
 Little words with love and understandin'
 From a small town Southern man


[Chorus:]
 And he bowed his head to Jesus
 And he stood for Uncle Sam
 And he only loved one woman
 (He) was always proud of what he had
 He said his greatest contribution
 Is the ones you leave behind
 Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
 Of a small town Southern man
 (Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)
 (Of a small town Southern man)


Callous hands told the story
 For this small town Southern man
 He gave it all to keep it all together
 And keep his family on his land
 Like his daddy, years wore out his body
 Made it hard just to walk and stand
 You can break the back
 But you can't break the spirit
 Of a small town Southern man


[Repeat Chorus]


Finally death came callin'
 For this small town Southern man
 He said it's alright 'cause I see angels
 And they got me by the hand
 Don't you cry, and don't you worry
 I'm blessed, and I know I am
 'Cause God has a place in Heaven
 For a small town Southern man


[Repeat Chorus]
