C
just like the way that you ran to wine
F
when they made the new milk turn
G
Jesus, a friend in the better times
F
let your mother's bible burn
C
freedom, a fever you suffered through
F
and the dog drank from your cup
G
frozen, the river that baptized you
F
and the horse died standing up
[Chorus]
F C G F
but when a southern anthem rings
C G F
she will buckle to that sound
C G F
when that southern anthem sings
C G F
it will lay her burdens down
[Verse 2]
C
Just like the way you lost your guns
F
When they cut the clothesline loose
G
Jesus, a friend of the weaker ones
F
Said, "I'm all they stole from you"
C
Freedom, a thistle that withered dry
F
Still a baby in your hands
G
Frozen, the ground refused to die
F
And the guitar rose again
[Chorus]
F C G F
But when that southern anthem rings
C G F
She will buckle to the sound
C G F
When that southern anthem rings
C G F
It will lay her burdens down
