Southern Son - Remastered 2017

200 years ago they came in ships
With words of loathin' hangin off their lips
Cast out from the country of their birth
Transported here to the end of the earth

Their natural lives
Here under southern skies

I'm a southern son, I'm proud to be one
Working in the heat 'till the day is done
I was born to this land and I'll make my stand
It's in my blood, wo-oh-oh I'm a southern son

They pushed the rail across the great divide
And in this arid land they lived and died
Settlers followed to the great unknown
Their children called this southern land their home

Dreams were won and lost
Under the southern cross

I'm a southern son, I'm proud to be one
Working in the heat 'till the day is done
I was born to this land and I'll make my stand
It's in my blood, wo-oh-oh I'm a southern son

From the golden beaches to the desert sands
We hold the future in our own hands
We'll right the wrongs in the land of the free
We'll be the masters of our destiny

Freedom for every man
Here in the southern land

I'm a southern son, I'm proud to be one
Working in the heat 'till the day is done
I was born to this land and I'll make my stand
It's in my blood, wo-oh-oh

I'm a southern son, I'm proud to be one
Burnin' in the heat 'till the day is done
I was born to this land and I'll make my stand
It's in my blood, wo-oh-oh I'm a southern son

Woah I'm a southern son
