Austin Cunningham - Southern Side Of Town lyrics

In the mud on my workboots is the way where I come from I may talk a little slower than you That dont make me dumb I fix your cars and I build your homes til my hands are cracked and calloused Some folks dont understand What Im about and who I am I was born on the southern side of the river Where a handshake is your contract, your name means everything I was raised on a good books promise and the pride my daddy taught me Where you work hard for a livin Yeah thats always been a given Dont you run her down, Ill stand my ground on the southern side of town I dont ask for many favors I earned every dime I make And I dont feel like Ive sold my soul at the end of a long hard day I just bring my tired back and worn out dreams home to my woman She never does complain But I know she feels the same I was born on the southern side of the river Where a handshake is your contract, your name means everything I was raised on a good books promise and the manners my mama taught me Where old ways are not forsaken And theres still a few things sacred Ill live and die and I won't deny the southern side of town Yeah sometimes I get to dreamin beyond these county lines Hey but the deepest voice within me draws me back every time I was raised on a good books promise and the pride my daddy taught me Where you work hard for a livin Yeah thats always been a given Ill live and die and I won't deny the southern side of town Where old ways are not forsaken And theres still a few things sacred So dont you run her down Cause I stand my ground on the southern side of town Im from the southern side of town God bless the southern side of town
