Gay in the South

Lover of mine, I heard you caught it
 It's a real hard time just being alive
 Mother of mine, you think you caused it
 It's an uphill climb being gay in the south
 They promised us you were going straight to Hell when you died
 I don't even think it's a real place
 And in future time, there'll be nothing different between you and I
 And I can't wait for that time to come true
 ♪
 Sister of mine, I've seen you struggle
 The men in your life letting you down
 So hop in your car and find a more loving place to be
 Sometimes it just takes a change in locale
 
 They promised us you were going straight to Hell when you died
 I know now that Hell is nothing but a headspace
 So follow through
 Tell the truth unless you think you should lie
 You can hold on just as long as you want to
 ♪
 Look up, do you see that?
 The sun is reaching through the blinds
 Sinner, step back, don't let a test result ruin your life

 Brother of mine, I've seen you struggle
 It's a real hard time just being alive
