CAPO 3
INTRO: G Cadd9 G Cadd9
VERSE 1:
G Cadd9
I grew up a long way from here
G Cadd9
I slept with the lights on for fifteen years
G Cadd9
And Sabbath kept me home on Friday Nights
G
And Daddy sang me Rogers
Cadd9
Just to make everything all right
G Cadd9
My town wasnt even on the map
G Cadd9
You could pass right through it in twenty seconds flat
G Cadd9
But the south was like the whole world to me
G Am D
It wasn't easy to stay but it was harder to leave
CHORUS:
C D G
Yeah I was a south bound child
C D G
Yeah i had a small town life
C D G Cadd9
But I turned out all right in the North
D G
Living that Southern kind of life

VERSE 2:
G Cadd9
Old friends and Bibles filled the house
G Cadd9
No room for money and no money anyhow
G Cadd9
Deprived was something we always heard
G Cadd9
But to me and my brother it was just another word
G Cadd9
I used to think the north was the end
G Cadd9
Cos people go there and they dont come back again
G Cadd9
But my fathers father was a man of the sea
G Am D
He lived the southern life two blocks away from me
CHORUS:
C D G
Yeah I was a south bound child
C D G
Yeah i had a small town life
C D G Cadd9
But I turned out all right in the North
D G
Living that Southern kind of life
C D G
Yeah I was a south bound child
C D G
Yeah i had a small town life
C D G Cadd9
But I turned out all right in the North

Living that Southern kind of life
