I Am A Town |
| I’m a town in Carolina |
| I’m a detour on a ride |
| For a phone call and a soda, I’m a blur from the driver’s side |
| I’m the last gas for an hour if you’re going twenty-five |
| I am Texaco and tobacco |
| I am dust you leave behind |
| I am peaches in September, and corn from a roadside stall |
| I’m the language of the natives, I’m a cadence and a drawl |
| I’m the pines behind the graveyard |
| And the cool beneath their shade |
| Where the boys have left their beer cans |
| I am weeds between the graves |
| My porches sag and lean with old black men and children |
| My sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them |
| I am a town |
| I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain |
| I’m a Baptist like my daddy, and Jesus knows my name |
| I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age |
| I am not your destination |
| I am clinging to my ways |
| I am a town |
| I’m a town in Carolina |
| I am billboards in the fields |
| I’m an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels |
| I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and 'Southern Serves the South' |
| I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign, on the rural route |
| I am a town |
| I am a town |
| I am a town, southbound |
