About the Artist
Lyrics
I was born in the shade of a longleaf pine The proud southern son of Caroline Proud of who I am and where I'm from But I ain't so proud of how far we've come On the backs of the poor, these towns were built Where 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 having Is the one you won't chase down They say sing your song, boy, shut your mouth But I believe in a better South Yes, I believe in a better South Down here we're still fighting for all the wrong reasons Old men still defend these monuments to treason To the right side of history, we're always late Still arguing the difference between heritage and hate The only dream that ain't worth having Is the one you won't chase down They say sing your song, boy, shut your mouth But I believe in a better South Yes, I believe in a better South I'm sick and tired of listening to Daddy's generation The byproduct of war and segregation Still thinking they can tell us of what to do Who can live where and who can love who The only dream that ain't worth having Is the one you won't chase down They say sing your song, boy, shut your mouth But I believe in a better South They say sing your song, boy, shut your mouth Yes, I believe in a better South Yes, I believe in a better South
