Capo 2
Cjust like the way that you ran to wine
when they Fmade the new milk turn
GJesus, a friend in the better times
let your Fmother's bible burn
Cfreedom, a fever you suffered through
and the Fdog drank from your cup
Gfrozen, the river that baptized you
and the Fhorse died standing up
F but when a southern anthem CriGngFs
she will buckle to that CsoGunFd
when that southern anthem CsiGngFs
it will lay her burdens CdoGwn F
Just like the way you lost your guns
When they cut the clothesline loose
Jesus, a friend of the weaker ones
Said, "I'm all they stole from you"
Freedom, a thistle that withered dry
Still a baby in your hands
Frozen, the ground refused to die
And the guitar rose again
But when that southern anthem rings
She will buckle to the sound
When that southern anthem rings
It will lay her burdens down
