The true story of a man from Cleveland, TN
Lyrics
He was born in Cleveland, TN His daddy left when he was three His momma did the best that she could do Nine kids are alot to bear everything they had to share One room, four chickens, and six pair of shoes Running whiskey when he was nine From Cleveland to the Georgia line Tryin' hard to make it his own way When they caught him, they was mad They beat him up so very bad They left him on the roadside to die CHORUS: Jesus had a different plan So he became a preacher man Tellin' everyone how he been saved Workin' on them diesel trucks Livin' life on faith & luck His hands, they tell the story of his life His mother, she was Cherokee His father's folks from Germany He never really knew his parents well He left home when he was ten And never looked back again A Southern boy with nothin' but his pride CHORUS Repeat first verse & Chorus
