Southern Kind Of Life - Kasey Chambers

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 wasnt even on the map

You could pass right through it in twenty seconds flat

But the south was like the whole world to me It wasnt 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 dont come back again

But my fathers 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
