Born the middle son[00:00:18]
Of a farmer[00:00:19]
And a small town[00:00:21]
Southern man[00:00:22]
Like his daddy’s daddy[00:00:25]
Before him[00:00:27]
Brought up workin’[00:00:28]
On the land[00:00:29]
Fell in love[00:00:32]
With a small town woman[00:00:33]
And they married up[00:00:35]
And settled down[00:00:36]
Natural way of life[00:00:39]
If you’re lucky[00:00:41]
For a small town[00:00:42]
Southern man[00:00:43]
First there came four[00:00:48]
Pretty daughters[00:00:50]
For this small town[00:00:51]
Southern man[00:00:52]
Then a few years later[00:00:55]
Came another[00:00:57]
A boy he wasn’t planned[00:00:58]
Seven people[00:01:03]
Living all together[00:01:03]
In a house built[00:01:05]
With his own hands[00:01:07]
Little words with love[00:01:10]
And understanding[00:01:11]
From a small town[00:01:12]
Southern man[00:01:14]
And he bowed his head[00:01:17]
To Jesus[00:01:20]
And he stood for Uncle Sam[00:01:21]
And he only loved one woman[00:01:25]
He was always proud[00:01:28]
Of what he had[00:01:30]
He said his[00:01:32]
Greatest contribution[00:01:33]
Is the ones you leave behind[00:01:36]
Raised on the ways[00:01:40]
And gentle kindness[00:01:43]
Of a small town Southern man[00:01:44]
Callous hands told the story[00:01:57]
For this small town[00:01:59]
Southern man[00:02:01]
He gave it all to[00:02:04]
Keep it all together[00:02:05]
And keep his family[00:02:06]
On his land[00:02:08]
Like his daddy [00:02:11]
Years wore out his body[00:02:12]
Made it hard just to[00:02:14]
Walk and stand[00:02:16]
You can break the back[00:02:18]
But you can’t[00:02:19]
Break the spirit[00:02:21]
Of a small town Southern man[00:02:22]
And he bowed his head[00:02:26]
To Jesus[00:02:28]
And he stood for Uncle Sam[00:02:30]
And he only loved one woman[00:02:32]
He was always proud of[00:02:37]
What he had[00:02:39]
He said his[00:02:41]
Greatest contribution[00:02:42]
Is the ones you leave behind[00:02:44]
Raised on the ways[00:02:48]
And gentle kindness[00:02:51]
Of a small town Southern man[00:02:52]
Finally death came callin’[00:03:17]
For this small town[00:03:19]
Southern man[00:03:20]
He said it’s alright ’[00:03:23]
Cause I see angels[00:03:25]
And they got me by the hand[00:03:26]
Don’t you cry [00:03:30]
And don’t you worry[00:03:31]
I’m blessed [00:03:33]
And I know I am[00:03:34]
‘Cause God has[00:03:38]
A place in Heaven[00:03:39]
For a small town Southern man[00:03:40]
And he bowed his head[00:03:45]
To Jesus[00:03:47]
And he stood for Uncle Sam[00:03:49]
And he only loved one woman[00:03:53]
He was always proud of[00:03:56]
What he had[00:03:58]
He said his[00:04:00]
Greatest contribution[00:04:01]
Is the ones you leave behind[00:04:04]
Raised on the ways[00:04:07]
And gentle kindness[00:04:10]
Of a small town Southern man[00:04:11]
Raised on the ways[00:04:16]
And gentle kindness[00:04:17]
Of a small town Southern man[00:04:18]
