[00:06.73]lyrics By Larry Cheng
[00:12.31]
[00:17.46]Born the middle son of a farmer
[00:20.56]And a small town southern man
[00:25.00]Like his daddy’s daddy before him
[00:27.81]Brought up workin’ on the land
[00:32.35]Fell in love with a small town woman
[00:35.08]And they married up and settled down
[00:39.61]Natural way of life if you’re lucky
[00:42.25]For a small town Southern man
[00:44.59]
[00:48.60]First there came four pretty daughters
[00:51.27]For this small town Southern man
[00:55.77]Then a few years later came another
[00:58.52]A boy, he wasn’t planned
[01:03.09]Seven people living all together
[01:06.11]In a house built with his own hands
[01:10.24]Little words with love and understanding
[01:12.94]From a small town Southern man
[01:16.05]
[01:18.04]And he bowed his head to Jesus
[01:21.69]And he stood for Uncle Sam
[01:25.36]And he only loved one woman
[01:28.73]He was always proud of what he had
[01:32.84]He said his greatest contribution
[01:35.91]Is the ones you leave behind
[01:40.45]Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
[01:43.56]Of a small town Southern man
[01:45.87]
[01:57.83]Callous hands told the story
[01:59.96]For this small town Southern man
[02:04.28]He gave it all to keep it all together
[02:07.09]And keep his family on his land
[02:11.47]Like his daddy, years wore out his body
[02:14.25]Made it hard just to walk and stand
[02:17.60]
[02:18.32]
[02:18.52]You can break the back
[02:19.84]But you can’t break the spirit
[02:21.53]Of a small town Southern man
[02:24.16]
[02:26.65]And he bowed his head to Jesus
[02:30.00]And he stood for Uncle Sam
[02:33.86]And he only loved one woman
[02:37.28]He was always proud of what he had
[02:41.45]He said his greatest contribution
[02:44.62]Is the ones you leave behind
[02:48.47]Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
[02:52.25]Of a small town Southern man
[02:54.38]
[03:17.25]Finally death came callin’
[03:19.70]For this small town Southern man
[03:22.88]He said it’s alright ’cause I see angels
[03:26.75]And they got me by the hand
[03:30.95]Don’t you cry, and don’t you worry
[03:33.74]I’m blessed, and I know I am
[03:38.13]‘Cause God has a place in Heaven
[03:40.79]For a small town Southern man
[03:43.62]
[03:46.25]And he bowed his head to Jesus
[03:49.64]And he stood for Uncle Sam
[03:53.05]And he only loved one woman
[03:56.63]He was always proud of what he had
[04:00.84]He said his greatest contribution
[04:03.88]Is the ones you leave behind
[04:07.95]Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
[04:11.50]Of a small town Southern man
[04:16.16]Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
[04:18.88]Of a small town Southern man
