Well Just the other day I was told that the chemo he was taking was going good and they learned that it had also stopped the cancer from grow and spreading. I was so happy to hear that it had stopped and that the chemo had been working. Later that day I ended up hearing the song "small time southern man" by alan jackson and it just reminded me of him.
Born the middle son of a farmerAnd a small town Southern manLike his daddy's daddy before himBrought up workin' on the landFell in love with a small town womanAnd they married up and settled downNatural way of life if you're luckyFor a small town Southern manFirst there came four pretty daughtersFor this small town Southern manThen a few years later came anotherA boy, he wasn't plannedSeven people livin' all togetherIn a house built with his own handsLittle words with love and understandin'From a small town Southern manChorus:And he bowed his head to JesusAnd he stood for Uncle SamAnd he only loved one woman(He) was always proud of what he hadHe said his greatest contributionIs the ones you leave behindRaised on the ways and gentle kindnessOf a small town Southern man(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)(Of a small town Southern man)Callous hands told the storyFor this small town Southern manHe gave it all to keep it all togetherAnd keep his family on his landLike his daddy, years wore out his bodyMade it hard just to walk and standYou can break the backBut you can't break the spiritOf a small town Southern man(Repeat Chorus)Finally death came callin'For this small town Southern manHe said it's alright 'cause I see angelsAnd they got me by the handDon't you cry, and don't you worryI'm blessed, and I know I am'Cause God has a place in HeavenFor a small town Southern man(Repeat Chorus)
