Southern Boy

Early in the morning when the sun chill blows

the trees whisper what a beautiful show

I look out over this mountain land

I hear the echos of the battle at hand

I sip my coffee and I wonder why

People stand the test of time

I'll be coming round the mountain when there's fire on the hill

Dressed in fighting armor with no weapon but my will

I'm gonna be somebody like an eagle I will soar

Thank God for West Virginia, thank God I'm a southern boy

Early in the morning when I shake my head

I can see grandpa there in that field of his

he made this living so I could see

that this land was meant for you and me

I'll be coming round the mountain when there's fire on the hill

Dressed in fighting armor with no weapon but my will

I'm gonna be somebody like an eagle I will soar

Thank God for West Virginia, thank God I'm a southern boy

I have seen the sky turn red to blue

I believe my daddy's coming and yours is too

We'll be coming round the mountain when there's fire on the hill

Dressed in fighting armor with no weapon but our will

We're gonna be somebody that's what we're fighting for

Thank God for West Virginia, thank God I'm a southern boy

Thank God for all he's given, thank God I'm a southern boy
