Kasey Chambers - Southern Kind Of Life lyrics

I grew up along way from here I slept with the lights on for fifteen years And Sabbath kept me home on Friday nights and Daddy sang me Rodgers just to make everything alright My town wasn't even on the map You could pa** 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 alright in the north Livin' that southern kind of life 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 use to think the north was the end Cause people go there and they don't come back again but my father's father was a man of the sea He lived a 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 alright in the north Livin' that southern kind of life Yeah I was a south bound child Yeah I had a small town life But I turned out alright in the north Livin' that southern kind of life
