[Verse 1]
[G]Born the middle son[D] of a farmer
And a [A]small town Southern [D]man

Brought up [A]workin' on the land
[G]Fell in love with a sma[D]ll town woman
And they [A]married up and settled [D]down
[G]Natural way of lif[D]e if you're lucky
For a [A]small town [G]Southern [D]man

[Verse 2]
[G]First there came fou[D]r pretty daughters
For this [A]small town Southern [D]man
[G]Then a few years lat[D]er came another
A [A]boy, he wasn't planned
[G]Seven people liv[D]in' all together
In a [A]house built with his own [D]hands
[G]Little words with lov[D]e and understanding
From a [A]small town [G]Southern [D]man

[Chorus 1]
And [G]he bowed his head to [D]Jesus
And [G]he stood for Uncle [D]Sam
And [G]he only loved one [D]woman
He was [A]always proud of what he had

Of a [A]small town [G]Southern [D]man

For this [A]small town Southern [D]man
[G]He gave it all to kee[D]p it all together
And keep his [A]family on his land
[G]Like his daddy, yea[D]rs wore out his body
Made it [A]hard just to walk and [D]stand
You [G]can break the back

Of a [A]small town [G]Southern [D]man
