Southern Kind Of Life Lyrics - The Captain - 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 Rogers 

Just to make everything all right 

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 

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 all right in the North 

Living that Southern kind of life 

Old friends and Bibles filled the house 

No room for money and no money anyhow 

Deprived was something we always heard 

But to me and my brother it was just another word 

I used to think the north was the end 

Cos people go there and 

They don't come back again 

But my father's father was a man of the sea 

He lived the southern kind of life two blocks 

Away from me 

Yeah I was a south bound child 

Yeah I had a small town life 

But I turned out all right 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 all right in the North 

Living that Southern kind of life
