INTRO: VERSE 1: I grew up a long way from here I slept with the lights on for fifteen years And Sabbath kept me home on Friday Nights And Daddy sang me Rogers Just to make everything all right 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 wasn't 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 all right in the North Living that Southern kind of life INSTR: VERSE 2: 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 used to think the north was the end Cos people go there and they dont come back again But my fathers father was a man of the sea He lived the 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 all right in the North Living that Southern kind of life Yeah I was a south bound child Yeah i had a small town life But I turned out all right in the North Living that Southern kind of life OUTRO:
