Lyrics
When The South Comes Shining Through.
I?ve seen the sky turn dark from Texas to Carolina
I?ve seen the sunset hard down on Memphis Boulevard
I?ve seen the storm clouds gather till the ocean lost it?s blue
But I just waited and the South came shining through.
I?ve seen some hard times coming when no one else could see ?em
I heard an old man cry with old age closing in
I heard a cold wind whisper that judgement?s overdue
But I just waited and the South came shining though.
You cant hold me down.
You cant turn me around.
It don?t matter what you do.
Cause I still stand when they play Dixie.
And with all the pride that?s in me.
I stand tall when the South comes shining through.
Well I?ve seen good men stand in bread lines
Lord you know we?ve had our bad times
I couldn?t fight back the tears when they auctioned Daddy?s farm
But I hear strong people talking about dignity and truth
Stand together and the South comes shining through.
Stand together and the South comes shining through.
