Ballad Of A Southern Man-Whiskey Myers

[00:00.00]My first rifle was a .243, [00:00.000] 作曲 : Brown, Cannon, Jeffers, Powell, Tate [00:04.56]Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me, [00:10.38]and they taught me how to shoot with a steady hand, [00:16.02]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [00:18.68] [00:22.08]Now I grew up on a prison farm, [00:27.39]sneaking pulls of shine from a mason jar, [00:32.63]used to go fishing out pickle creek dam, [00:39.99]but I guess that’s something you don't understand. [00:42.88] [00:44.85]Grandmas in the kitchen; [00:48.40]Papas drunk past dawn; [00:52.14]We sit out on the front porch, [00:55.00]Just a pickin’ on the songs; [00:57.99]and there's blood on the table, [01:01.19]cause we work for what we have; [01:04.74]and I was raised in this land, [01:08.49]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [01:09.55] [01:15.00]I still fly that southern flag, [01:19.96]whistling Dixieland enough to brag, [01:25.22]and I know all the words to simple man, [01:32.61]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [01:37.86] [01:38.51]I pledge my allegiance the original way, [01:42.66]say Merry Christmas not happy holidays, [01:49.06]I can’t change my ways I know who I am, [01:54.71]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [01:57.70] [01:59.51]Grandmas in the kitchen; [02:03.02]Papas drunk past dawn; [02:06.72]we sit out on the front porch, [02:09.97]just a pickin’ on the songs; [02:13.12]and there's blood on the table, [02:16.51]cause we work for what we have; [02:19.56]and I was raised in this land, [02:23.27]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [02:26.44] [02:30.54]They'll grind us up in a big machine; [02:34.60]They'll feed us all on the same beliefs, [02:37.00]Holy dollar and a credit card; [02:41.15]but we got a way of doing things, [02:46.94]and no bankers gonna steal from me; [02:50.60]they wanna tear it all apart. [02:52.06] [02:56.81]Grandmas in the kitchen; [02:59.96]Papas done past on; [03:02.15]we sit out on the front porch, [03:05.75]just a pickin’ on the songs; [03:08.60]and there's a bible on the table, [03:11.94]cause he bleed for what we have, [03:15.55]and that’s the ballad of a southern man, [03:19.29]I guess that’s something you don't understand. [03:25.79] [03:26.59]My first rifle was a .243, [03:31.23]Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me
