South End Kid Lyrics by Neil Medley

South End Kid

2023

[Verse 1]
I pick her up in my rusted out Ford
Her suit and tie, he'd meet me at the door
He could tell right away, before the handshake
I was a south end kid
And I bet they had a good talk when she got home
'Bout the other side of town and what could go wrong
If she hung around and fell in love with
A south end kid
[Chorus 1]
That blue collar boy with holes in his jeans
Nothin' in his pocket but some hand-me-down dreams
Paycheck to paycheck's all he'll ever be
Burnin' both ends just to make ends meet
That's what you're up against
When you're a south end kid
[Verse 2]
All they thought I was, I left it behind
And I took a few songs down I-65
Turns out Nashville don't give a damn if
You're a south end kid
[Chorus 2]
That blue collar boy with holes in his jeans
Nothin' in his pocket but some honky-tonk dreams
Keep your head down, just roll up your sleeve
You gotta work a little harder to make ends meet
Got just good a chance to win
If you're a south end kid
[Bridge]
Those east end girls reach out sometimes
They've heard my song on 97.5
They say "We knew you when
You were a south end kid"
Yeah, they all knew me when
I was a south end kid
[Chorus 3]
That blue collar boy with holes in his jeans
Finally chasin' down a few honky-tonk dreams
Now looking back I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause the south end sure made me
Yeah, I'm always gonna be
A south end kid
A south end kid
A south end kid
