Southern Child

Southern Child

By Paul McCann

‘

The rain in the highlands turns to sleet now,

as the mist in the morning kissed the street .

Wow , I can see the people smile .

Think I’ll stick around a while

 and see the winter out as a southern child .

From the high range to the city far away

Yeah there’s nobody pushing time today ,’

Things around here move at a slower pace,

Its natures way in an open space.

A welcome change indeed for a southern child .

The highlands have a way to stick around you.

Through the winter and the summer and the autumn too

They lift me up and they pull me through.

Southern Highlands, I can count on you .

If I were the winter wind I’d grieve

For as Spring comes I’d have to leave

the highlands where I feel at home

Never more this year to roam

There’s no change thank God for a Southern child .

The highlands have a way to stick around you

Through the winter and the summer and the autumn too

They lift me up and pull me through

Southern Highlands I can count on you .
