Black Warrior County (Tuscaloosa, USA) *Exclusive Music*

Written as a tribute to those effected by the tornadoes and flooding in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I would like someone to record this or even just sing it acoustically, I really want to hear one of my songs performed by a real singer. If you have questions about chords and melody or would like backing track with no melody, please contact me by sending a message to my in-box here at YouTube.

Lyrics:

Baptised out by the lake when I was born
Work down in Fleetwood Mine most every morn
Come winter time
Camellias bloom
And even in rain
Stormy skies
The folks stay tough
We all survive
Steel coated hearts
Filled with gold

In Black Warrior County
Tuscaloosa
USA
On lazy days
Dip my feet in red clay
Under the southern pines
Bow my head, down to pray

Caught 'tween the city and the rural life
I've seen and had my share of bitter strife
It's not a life
Some people choose
But even when I
Got the blues
It sure do beat
Them city streets
Raised in the church
Born and bred

In Black Warrior County
Tuscaloosa
USA
On lazy days
Dip my feet in red clay
Under the southern pines
Bow my head, down to pray

People who don't know a thing
Think they know know it all
Just from judging by the past
But they can't tell what's in the people's hearts
They'll never know what strength our spirit's got

In Black Warrior County
Tuscaloosa
USA
On lazy days
Dip my feet in red clay
Under the southern pines
Bow my head, down to pray
