Blackhawk - Brothers Of The Southland lyrics

rate me

(Henry Paul/Dave Robbins/Peterick)

From the hills that 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 echo 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 heartland

Singers in the same band

Spirits on the wind

Standing on this stage together

Our song goes on forever

We are of heavens plans

We are brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

Tattered old revival tent

And ragged voices heaven sent

Singing halleluiah and dancing in the aisles

Ronnie was barefoot child

An angels voice and the devils 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

They grey ghost he rides

Said you gotta carry on

And on and

We are the brothers of the southland

Singers in the same band

Spirits on the wind

Standing on this stage together

Our songs goes on forever

We are part of heavens plan

We are brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

We are the brothers of the southland

And the day Duane Allman died

With Barry Oakly 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 are part of heavens plan

We are the brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

We are brothers of the southland
