[INTRO]
G D A D
[VERSE]
D G D
I was born in the shade of a long leaf pine
D A D
The proud southern son of Caroline
D G D
Proud of who I am and where I'm from
D A D
But I ain't so proud of how far we've come
[VERSE]
D G D
On the backs of the poor these towns were built
D A D
Where every ounce of pride comes with a pound of guilt
D G D
There's a shadow here, looms long and black
D A D
It's always one step forward and two steps back
[CHORUS]
G D
The only dream that ain't worth having
G A
Is the one you won't chase down
D D A G
They say sing your songs, boy, and shut your mouth
D A G D D A G D
But I believe in a better South
D A G D
Yes I believe in a better South
[VERSE]
D G D
Down here we're still fighting for all the wrong reasons
D A D
Old men still defend these monuments to treason
D G D
To the right side of history, we're always late
D A D
Still arguing the difference between heritage and hate
[CHORUS]
G D
The only dream that ain't worth having
G A
Is the one you won't chase down
D D A G
They say sing your songs, boy, and shut your mouth
D A G D D A G D
But I believe in a better South
