00:00That morning sun cut through the cypress trees Like a preacher's fire on bended knees
00:21I was plowing plain into stubborn clay Since she left in June I ain't been the same
00:28But I keep that Bible by my dash Does cover dreams, whiskey in a glass
00:35The corn won't grow, the river runs red But I won't give the devil rent on this homestead
00:42Cause heaven don't break in the south No sir, we bleed, we pray, we rise from dirt
00:49When thunder rolls and the dark comes down We hold this line, the sacred ground
00:56She said this land will test your soul, no doubt But heaven don't break in the south
01:04They say the woods been whispering lies Hounds won't hunt and the well ran dry
01:17A cross on the hill caught fire last night But I ain't running, I was born to fight
01:24I seen her ghost in the chapel pew Hair like wheat and eyes like truce
01:31She said love's a war bore, not a truce And God's still stronger than the news
01:38Cause heaven don't break in the south Not here where sins get washed in muddy tears
01:45Where angels wear boots and rifles too And prayers are louder than twenty-two
01:52She kissed me once and said keep your vow And heaven don't break in the south
02:00Storm rolled in on a Saturday night Black as sin and twice the fright
02:20The town lined up at the white church door One flame of faith and a hundred more
02:27We sang her favorite gospel tune Beneath that blood red harvest moon
02:33The devil watched but turned around Cause he knows better than to burn this town
02:41I still see her in the dawn's first light By the muddy banks
02:46Where wrong turns right And every plow cut through this pain
02:51Is one more hymn in a southern refrain
02:55Yeah, heaven don't break in the south, amen We lose the fight, then win again
03:01With calloused hands and holy scars We plant our hope beneath the stars
03:08She's gone, but I still hear her now Saying heaven don't break in the south
03:16So I'll work the land and guard this vow Cause heaven don't break in the south
03:26God bless you in the south
03:28Oh, my friend, we'll catch him in the north
03:32God bless you in the south
03:33God bless you in the south
03:34Oh, my friend, I feel 편 видia
03:36Oh, my friend裡 is of course of mine
03:38You see thoseลuitous hands and floods
03:40As that said facebook news to me
03:49Whenever itcuts inside his north
