Brothers Of The Southland Lyrics - Blackhawk

From the hills they came, from backwoods without a name 

Carrying their guitars and a heart full of southern soul 

Down the dusty roads of Caroline, the Tucker boys were friends of mine 

They echoed through the lonely pines, running down the road 

And the day the Caldwells died 

Before the rugged cross we cried 

A voice from deep inside 

Said you gotta carry on and on and 

We are brothers of the southland, singers in the same band 

Spirits on the wind, oh standing on this stage together 

Our song goes on forever we're part of Heaven's plan 

We're brothers of the southland, brothers of the southland 

Tattered old revival tent and ragged voices heaven-sent 

Singing hallelujah and dancing in the aisles 

Ronnie was a barefoot child, an angel's voice and the devil's smile 

We only had him for a little while but the world still sings his songs 

And the day the Freebird died 

Before the rugged cross we cried 

The gray ghost he rides 

Said you gotta carry on and on and 

We are brothers of the southland, singers in the same band 

Spirits on the wind, standing on this stage together 

Our song goes on forever we're part of Heaven's plan 

We're brothers of the southland, brothers of the southland 

Brothers of the southland 

And the day Duane Allman died 

With Barry Oakley by his side 

They took one last midnight ride 

We are brothers of the southland, singers in the same band 

Spirits on the wind, standing on this stage together 

A bridge across forever, we're part of Heaven's plan 

We're brothers of the southland, brothers of the southland 

Brothers of the southland 

Brothers of the southland
