[00:12.97] I was raised in the shadows of an old cotton mill [00:17.95] Back when believin' was the style [00:22.69] Small town heaven and a big-eyed boy [00:27.13] Made sweet music for a while [00:31.57] My daddy worked hard down at the factory [00:36.27] Nights he went to G.I. school [00:40.35] He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver spoon [00:44.53] But he lived by the golden rule [00:50.55] Summer nights he was gone, me and mama stayed home [00:55.94] Out on the front porch swing [00:59.90] Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky [01:04.27] And sometimes we used to sing [01:07.67] We were leaning, leaning on [01:12.71] The everlasting arms of love [01:17.98] Livin' all those simple joys [01:21.35] This dixie boy is made of [01:24.74] [01:40.41] Got my real education from the T.V. station [01:45.53] And good ol' boys down at the park [01:49.61] The say hey, Willie and those rock-a-billies [01:54.47] Made their way into my heart [01:57.79] I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin' [02:02.69] On laidback Sunday afternoons [02:06.89] They said, "Them young folks sure got a hard road [02:11.92] Oh, they're growin' up too soon" [02:17.03] Now I know they were right, and as I sit here tonight [02:22.08] Out on the front porch swing [02:26.46] The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes [02:30.74] Just like they did for me [02:34.00] We are leaning, leaning on [02:39.29] The everlasting arms of love [02:44.32] Livin' all those simple joys [02:47.98] This dixie boy is made of [02:51.25] We are leaning, leaning on [02:56.52] The everlasting arms of love [03:01.51] Livin' all those simple joys [03:05.12] This dixie boy is made of [03:08.39]
