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
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
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
