Born the middle son of a farmerAnd a small town Southern manLike his daddy's daddy before himBrought up workin' on the landFell in love with a small town womanAnd they married up and settled downNatural way of life if you're luckyFor a small town Southern manFirst there came four pretty daughtersFor this small town Southern manThen a few years later came anotherA boy, he wasn't plannedSeven people livin' all togetherIn a house built with his own handsLittle words with love and understandin'From a small town Southern manAnd he bowed his head to JesusAnd he stood for Uncle SamAnd he only loved one womanWas always proud of what he hadHe said his greatest contributionIs the ones you leave behindRaised on the ways and gentle kindnessOf a small town Southern manCallous hands told the storyFor this small town Southern manHe gave it all to keep it all togetherAnd keep his family on his landLike his daddy, years wore out his bodyMade it hard just to walk and standYou can break the backBut you can't break the spiritOf a small town Southern manAnd he bowed his head to JesusAnd he stood for Uncle SamAnd he only loved one womanWas always proud of what he hadHe said his greatest contributionIs the ones you leave behindRaised on the ways and gentle kindnessOf a small town Southern manFinally death came callin'For this small town Southern manHe said it's alright 'cause I see angelsAnd they got me by the handDon't you cry, and don't you worryI'm blessed, and I know I am'Cause God has a place in HeavenFor a small town Southern manAnd he bowed his head to JesusAnd he stood for Uncle SamAnd he only loved one womanWas always proud of what he hadHe said his greatest contributionIs the ones you leave behindRaised on the ways and gentle kindnessOf a small town Southern man
