Southern Kind Of Life
by Kasey Chambers

I grew up a long way from here
I slept with the lights on for fifteen years
And Sabbath kept me home on Friday nights

And Daddy sang me Rodgers just to make everything alright
My town wasn't even on the map
You could pass right through it
In twenty seconds flat

But the south was like the whole world to me
It wasn't easy to stay
But it was harder to leave

Yeah I was a south bound child
Yeah I had a small town life
But I turned out alright in the north
Living that southern kind of life


Old friends and babble fills the house
No room for money and no money anyhow
Deprived of something we always heard
But to me and my brother it was just another word

I used to think the north was the end
Cause people go there
And they don't come back again
But my father's father was a man of the sea
He lived a southern two blocks the way from me

Yeah I was a south bound child
Yeah I had a small town life
But I turned out alright in the north
Living that southern kind of life

Yeah I was a south bound child
Yeah I had a small town life
But I turned out alright in the north
Living that southern kind of life
