My Childhood
I grew up in the deep South.
It didn't matter the color of your skin
No one was disrespectful or ran their mouth.
We were friends! We stuck up for one
Another, went places together and we
Had couth.
Heck, going fishing everyone was in.
I grew up in the deep South
This is the truth
On Sundays we all went to the same church
For we all had sin.
No one was disrespectful or ran their mouth.
We all enjoyed our youth
It was like we all were kin.
I grew up in the deep South
If some one was having trouble living
Hand to mouth
We all gave food or whatever from our hearts
We were genuine.
No one was disrespectful or ran their mouth.
You got this straight from the horse's mouth
We were in this together through thick and
Thin.
I grew up in the deep South
No one was disrespectful or ran their mouth.
