Brothers of the Southland

From the hills they came

From backwoods without a name

Carrying their guitars and a heart full of southern soul

Down the dusty roads of Caroline

The Tucker boys were friends of mine

They echoed through the lonely pines

Running down the road

And the day the Caldwells died

Before the rugged cross we cried

A voice from deep inside

Said you gotta carry on

And on and

We are brothers of the southland

Singers in the same band

Spirits on the wind

Standing on this stage together

Our song goes on forever

We?e part of Heaven? plan

We?e brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

Tattered old revival tent

And ragged voices heaven-sent

Singing halleluiah and dancing in the aisles

Ronnie was a barefoot child

An angel? voice and the devil? smile

We only had him for a little while

But the world still sings his songs

And the day the Freebird died

Before the rugged cross we cried

The grey ghost he rides

said you gotta carry on

and on and

We are brothers of the southland Singers in the same band

Spirits on the wind

Standing on this stage together

Our song goes on forever

We?e part of Heaven? plan

We?e brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

We?e brothers of the southland

And the day Duane Allman died

With Barry Oakley by his side

They took one last midnight ride

We are brothers of the southland

Singers in the same band

Spirits on the wind

Standing on this stage together

A bridge across forever

We?e part of Heaven? plan

We?e brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

Brothers of the southland

We?e brothers of the southland
