CI grew up workin' on a farm way down south
I went to school against my will Gway down G7south
CI kissed girls and I shot squirrels out behind my Fhouse
I learned a lot Cabout this world Gway down Csouth
CI went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down south
I learned to work on my pick-up truck Gway down G7south
CI played my guitar under the stars out behind our Fhouse
You will always Cfind my heart Gway down Csouth
CHORUS:
FClothes on the clothes line Changin' in the sunshine, a Ggarden growin' in the gCround
FCountry music on the Cradio, Dtalk about a goold ol' G7sound
FPeople drivin' past Cwhen I'm cuttin' grass, Gwavin' at every single Cone
FThat's the way it's done Cwhen you come from Gway down Csouth

Those memories will Cnever get old Gway down Csouth
