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. |

Iwas raised in the shadow of an old cotton mill, back when believin' was in | |

Smalltown heaven and a bigeyed 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 | |

Got my real educationfrom the T. V. station and good ole boys down at the | |

The say " Hey, Willie" and those rockabillies played their way into my | |
heart. | |
I remember the old folks sittin' ' round talkin' on laidback Sunday | |

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 | |
