Pride Of Franklin County Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

All through school he did real well 

Got a good job in the sawmill, yeah 

But he wanted more so he went away 

As he stepped on board the 802 

He could hear his daddy say 

"Listen to the big bell a ringin' on the hillside 

I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high 

Lady Luck's got a heart of stone 

And you're the pride of Franklin County 

Don't you leave your natural home" Oh, yeah

A small town kid with the big city blues 

A yearnin' heart and taped up shoes, yeah 

He wanted more so he went astray 

Took a gun and he stole a car and he was on his way 

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside 

I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high, high 

Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone 

But the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own 

Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah 

He robbed a bank, oh, he didn't see the guard 

The guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin' 

People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say 

"Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside 

Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high 

Lady Luck's got a heart of stone 

Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home"
