Lyrics:
All through school he did real well got a good job in the sawmill yeahBut he wanted more so he went awayAs he stepped on board the 8-0-2 he could hear his daddy sayListen to the big bell ringin' on the hillsideI hear the town choir singin' oh so sweet and highLady Luck's got a heart of stoneYou're the pride of Franklin County don't you leave your natural home oh yeahA small town kid with the big city blues a yearnin' heart and taped up shoes yeahHe wanted more so he went astrayTook a gun and he stole a car and he was on his wayListen to the big bell ringin' on the hillsideHear the town choir singin' oh so sweet and high highLady Luck's got a heart of stoneBut the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own[ strings ]He got tough Lord he was hard yeah he robbed a bank oh didn't see the guardThe guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin'People gathered round and they swore they heard him sayListen to the big bell ringin' on the hillsideHear the town choir singin' oh so sweet and highLady Luck's got a heart of stoneNow the pride of Franklin County's goin' homeListen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside...Finally comin' home
