Letra de Southern Side of Town

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
