Small Town Southern Man Lyrics

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

Living all together

In a house built

With his own hands

Little words with love

And understanding

From a small town

Southern man

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

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

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

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
