Intro
C#m B x2
[Verse 1]
C#m B
We packed our few belongings and we moved across the ocean
C#m B
To start a new life in this land so bold and vast
C#m B
Dispersed from Ellis Island, my distant Irish kin
C#m B
Eyes cut to the future, heart’s tied to the past
C#m B
[Verse 2]
C#m B
We held tight to our loved ones and we held on to the promise
C#m B
and we scraped our meager living hand to mouth
C#m B
We prayed to what would have us, every doubting John Thomas
C#m B
spreading through the Appalachia ever south
C#m B
Spread through Appalachia ever south
[Verse 3]
C#m B
And I hear we weren’t welcomed here, at least not in those days
C#m B
No one needs our drunken, fighting, thieving kind
C#m B
But we settled in this new place and we worked it in our ways
C#m B
and spread our kin upon it in due time
C#m B
Spread our kin upon it in due time
[Chorus 1]
A9 E
And we fought our losing battles and we held onto our ways
A9 E
and we talk of how we left behind our better days
A9 E
Some were living lives of leisure, some surviving hand to mouth
C#m B
Bash our heads against the future, ever south
C#m B
Bash our heads against the future ever south
[Instrumental]
C#m B x2
[Verse 4]
C#m B
When I set my sights upon you, we were both still in our prime
C#m B
We were moving in big circles that I sought out to combine
C#m B
And I held you in my arms and swore eternal love this time
C#m B
Tried to lasso brighter futures and let it drag us both behind
C#m B
Lasso brighter futures, let it drag us both behind
C#m B
[Chorus 2]
A9 E
So we aimed our sights westward like so many did before
A9 E
Expanding our horizons to some distant shore
A9 E
Where everyone takes notice of the drawl that leaves our mouth
C#m B
So that no matter where we are we’re ever south
C#m B
No matter where we are we’re ever south
[Instrumental]
C#m B x2
[Verse 5]
C#m B
Now my Christian Southern brethren will tell you all what for
C#m B
to keep your heathen ways up in you and your shoes outside the door
C#m B
take your stand for noble causes till you just can’t stand no more
C#m B
and surrender to some savior, Praise the Lord,
C#m B
Surrender to some savior, Praise the Lord
C#m B
[Verse 6]
C#m B
But despite our best intentions, it pains me to report
C#m B
we keep swinging for the fences, coming up a little short
C#m B
We sure can get it wrong for someone so devout
C#m B
I hear you whistling past the graveyard looking down
C#m B
Whistling past the graveyard looking down
{Chorus 3}
A9 E x1
A9 E
Ever Southern in my carriage, ever southern in my stance
A9 E
in the Irish of my complexion and the Scottish in my dance
A9 E
in the way I bang my head against my daily circumstance
A9 E
A9 E
Let this blue eyed southern devil take you out upon the prowl
A9 E
with decadence and charm we’ll take it into town
A9 E
tell you stories of our fathers and the glories of our house
C#m B
Always told a little slower, ever south
C#m B
Always told a little slower, ever south
[Outro]
C#m B x4
