[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
[Solo]

[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

Livin' all those simple joys
