| Lyrics:Jim Mcbride Music:Jim Mcbride | |
| Iwas raised in the shadow of an old cotton mill, back when believin' was in | |
| style. | |
| Smalltown heaven and a big-eyed boy made sweet music for a while. | |
| My daddy worked hard down at the facotry. | |
| Nights he went to G.I. school. | |
| He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver spoon, but he lived by the golden | |
| rule. | |
| Summer nights he was gone; me and mama stayed home, out on the front porch | |
| swing, wishin' on the stars in the southern sky, and sometimes we used to | |
| sing. | |
| We were leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms of love, livin' all the | |
| simple joys this Dixie boy is made of. | |
| Got my real educationfrom the T.V. station and good ole boys down at the | |
| park. | |
| The say "Hey, Willie" and those rock-a-billies played their way into my | |
| heart. | |
| I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin' on laidback Sunday | |
| afternoons. | |
| They said them young folks sure got a hard road. | |
| Oh, they're growin' up too soon. | |
| Now I know they were right, and as I sit here tonight out on the front porch | |
| swing, the stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes, just like they did for | |
| me; | |
| We are leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms of love, livin' all the | |
| simple joys this Dixie boy is made of. |
