[Verse 1]
N.C.
I was raised in the shadows of an old cotton mill
                            D
Back when believin' was the style
                        C        D
Small town heaven and a big eyed boy
G                      D
Made sweet music for a while
                                 C
My daddy worked hard down at the   factory
G                    D
Nights he went to GI school
                                C      D
He didn't know nothin' bout the silver spoon
       G                   D    D
But he lived by the golden rule
       Em                        G
Summer nights he was gone me and momma stayed home
D                      C    A
Out on the front porch swing
D                           G
Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky
    D            A       D
And sometimes we used to sing
 
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on
    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love
D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys
     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of

[Verse 2]
       D                       C
Got my real education from the TV station
    G                         D
And good ole boys down at the park
                             C
The say Hey Willie and those rockabillies
G                      D
Made their way into my heart
                         C
I remember the old folks sittin' round talkin'
   G                    D
On laidback Sunday afternoons
                           C
They said them young folks sure got a hard road
G                            D    D
  Oh, they're growin' up too soon
      Em                            G
Now I know they were right and as I sit here tonight
D                      C     A
Out on the front porch swing
    D                       G
The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes
D              A       D
Just like they did for me
 
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on
    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love
D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys
     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of
 
[Chorus]
        G       D
We were leaning leaning on
    G           D       G
The everlasting arms of love
D                  G
  Livin' all those simple joys
     D     A           D
This Dixie boy is made of
