Small Town Southern Man Lyrics - Good Time - Alan Jackson

Born the middle son of a farmer 

And a small town Southern man 

Like his daddy's daddy before him 

Brought up workin' on the land 

Fell in love with a small town woman 

And they married up and settled down 

Natural way of life if you're lucky 

For a small town Southern man 

First there came four pretty daughters 

For this small town Southern man 

Then a few years later came another 

A boy, he wasn't planned 

Seven people livin' all together 

In a house built with his own hands 

Little words with love and understandin' 

From a small town Southern man

Chorus: 

And he bowed his head to Jesus 

And he stood for Uncle Sam 

And he only loved one woman 

(He) was always proud of what he had 

He said his greatest contribution 

Is the ones you leave behind 

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness 

Of a small town Southern man 

(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness) 

(Of a small town Southern man) 

Callous hands told the story 

For this small town Southern man 

He gave it all to keep it all together 

And keep his family on his land 

Like his daddy, years wore out his body 

Made it hard just to walk and stand 

You can break the back 

But you can't break the spirit 

Of a small town Southern man

(Repeat Chorus) 

Finally death came callin' 

For this small town Southern man 

He said it's alright 'cause I see angels 

And they got me by the hand 

Don't you cry, and don't you worry 

I'm blessed, and I know I am 

'Cause God has a place in Heaven 

For a small town Southern man 

(Repeat Chorus)
