Paragraph Lyric
I'm a town in Carolina, I'm a detour on a rideFor a phone call and a soda, I'm a blur from the driver's sideI'm the last gas for an hour, if you're going 25I am Texaco and tobacco, I am dust you leave behindI am peaches in September and corn from a roadside stallI'm the language of the natives, I'm a cadence and a drawlI'm the pines behind the graveyard and the cool beneath their shadeWhere the boys have left their beer cans, I am weeds between the gravesMy porches sag and lean with old black men and childrenMy sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill themI am a townI'm a church beside the highway where the ditches never drainI'm a Baptist like my daddy, Jesus knows my nameI am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old ageI am not your destination, I am clinging to my waysI am a townI'm a town in Carolina, I am billboards in the fieldsI'm an old truck up on cinderblocks, missing all my wheelsI am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South"I am tucked behind a Jaycees sign on the rural routeI am a townI am a townI am a townSouthbound
