Whiskey Myers - Ballad Of A Southern Man lyrics

rate me

my first rifle was a 243

papa gave to daddy and daddy gave to me

and they taught me how to shoot with a steady hand

i guess thats something you don't understand

now i grew up on a prison phone

sneaking pulls of shine from a mason jar

used to go fishing out cripple creek dam

but i guess thats something you don't understand

and grandmas in the kitchen

papas drunk past dawn

we sit out on the front porch

just a pickin' on the song"s

and there's blood on the table

cause we work for what we have

and i was raised in this land

i guess thats something you don't understand

I still fly that southern flag

whistling dixie loud enough to brag

and i know all the words to simple man

i guess thats something you don't understand

i pledge my allegiance the original way

say merry christmas not happy holidays

i cant change my ways I know who i am

i guess thats something you don't understand

and grandmas in the kitchen

and papas done passed on

we'd sit out on the front porch

just a pickin on a song

and there's blood on the table

Cause we work for what we have

and i was raised in this land

i guess thats something you don't understand

grind us up in a big machine

they'll feed us all on the same beliefs

Oh a dollar and a credit card

but we got a way of doing things

and no body's gonna steal from me

they wanna tear it all apart

and grandmas in the kitchen

and papas done passed on

we'd sit out on the front porch

just a pickin on a song

and there's a bible on the table

cause he bled for what we have

and thats the ballad of a southern man

i guess thats something you don't understand

My first rifle was a 243

Papa gave to daddy and daddy gave to me
