Southern Born

Southern Born/ Scott Mills

Verse 1
Way on back in the Ozark hills
We learned how to hunt
And ate what we killed
Times were hard and they didn’t come easy
But we lived by faith and we called on Jesus
We lived our life by the sweat of our brow
We were southern born and heaven bound

Chorus
Southern born, heaven bound
Living a big old dream in a one horse town
Southern boys in our Sunday best
Telling the world God’s love will stand the test
We know the one to lean on
When the world knocks you down
We’re southern born and heaven bound

Verse 2
We grew up on all kinds of music
Whatever we heard we tried to use it
From the modern sound of the symphony
To the bluegrass bend in the guitar strings
But whatever we sang one thing came out
We were southern born and heaven bound

Chorus

Bridge
If you like our kind of music
Mixed with a country style
Then shout it from the rooftop
Hear it for a country mile
Let me hear you say it loud

Tag
We know the one to lean
When the world knocks you down
We’re southern born, southern born
And heaven bound
