"South Of It (Acoustic)" lyrics

"South Of It (Acoustic)"

Kids in the holler playin' cowboys and Indians
Teens by the river turnin' silvers into pyramids
Farmer in a tractor rollin' after sundown
Ten-point runnin' with some cows
Barn hangin' leaf that'll turn Copenhagen
Field growin' corn that they'll pour in a Mason
Farm row Chevy, stirrin' up a dust cloud
Just another day in this town

Bow your head and thank the lord
It'd be a sin to ask for more
Then a goodyear swing and a redbird singin'
I know that you know what I mean if you've seen it
Grain field turns to gold
And Jesus saves your soul
Leaned up on a fence post
5:30 sun shinin' down on it
It might not be Heaven
But it's just a couple miles south of it

A bird dog pointin' at somethin' in a thicket
A rockin' chair rockin' with an answered prayer in it
Go to bed early 'cause the rut ain't ended
Hell, it's gettin' late
Your baby set the pot on a 4 A.M. trip
Bottomland laid out with a 30.06
Bendin' Gods ear on a deer stand, sick
'Cause, man, he don't miss

Yeah, bow your head and thank the lord
It'd be a sin to ask for more
Then a goodyear swing and a redbird singin'
I know that you know what I mean if you've seen it
Grain field turns to gold
And Jesus saves your soul
Leaned up on a fence post
5:30 sun shinin' down on it
It might not be Heaven
But it's just a couple miles south of it

So, bury me out there with the arrowheads
By the Civil War stone, moss growin' overhead
Hell or high water, ain't takin' me out of it
Might not be Heaven
But it's just a couple miles south of it

So, bow your head and thank the lord
It'd be a sin to ask for more
Then a goodyear swing and a redbird singin'
I know that you know what I mean if you've seen it
Grain field turns to gold
And Jesus saves your soul
Leaned up on a fence post
5:30 sun shinin' down on it
It might not be Heaven
But it's just a couple miles south of it

Yeah, it's just a couple miles south of it
