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 landFell 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 manFirst there came four pretty daughters

For this small town Southern man

Then a few years later came another

A boy, he wasn't plannedSeven people livin' all together

In a house built with his own hands

Little words with love and understandin'

From a small town Southern manAnd 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 hadHe said his greatest contribution

Is the ones you leave behind

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town Southern manCallous 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 landLike 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 manAnd 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 hadHe said his greatest contribution

Is the ones you leave behind

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town Southern manFinally death came callin'

For this small town Southern man

He said it's alright 'cause I see angels

And they got me by the handDon't you cry, and don't you worry

I'm blessed, and I know I am

'Cause God has a place in Heaven

For the small town Southern manAnd 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 hadHe said his greatest contribution

Is the ones you leave behind

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town Southern manRaised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town Southern man
