Lyrics
I was born in the shade of a long leaf pine The proud southern son of Caroline Proud of who I am And where I’m from Where I ain’t so proud of how far we’ve come On the backs of the poor these towns were build For every ounce of pride comes a pound of guilt There’s a shadow here looms long and black It’s always one step forward and two steps back The only dream that ain’t worth havin Is the one You won't chase down They sing your song boy and shut your mouth But I believe in a better sound Yes I believe in a better sound Down here were still fighting for all the wrong reasons Old man still defends their monuments to treason To the right side of history were always late Still arguing the difference between Harriet age and hate The only dream that ain’t worth havin Is the one You won't chase down They sing your song boy and shut your mouth But I believe in a better sound Yes I believe in a better sound I’m sick and tire of listen to daddy’s generation The byproduct of war and segregation Still thinkin they can tell us what to do Who can live where and who can love who The only dream that ain’t worth havin Is the one You won't chase down They sing your song boy and shut your mouth But I believe in a better sound Yes I believe in a better sound They say sing your song boy and shut your mouth Yes I believe in a better sought Yes I believe in a better south
