A CHRISTMAS VISIT
(Toombs County)
the blacktop is damn boring!
... Georgia lives on a red dirt road.
"MA IT'S OL CAL............ OHHHHHH
DAMNNN YER HIDE BOY
COME ON HERE AND SET A BIT!"
the roads are red clay
where the good folks live.
"OHHH MERCIFUL JESUS... I NEVER EVER
THOUGHT I WOULD SEE YOU AGAIN... CAL!"
all I had was two jars of scuppernong shine.
"THANK YA SON... AWWWWW
THANK YA... MA!!!
MAAAAA!
LOOKA HERE...... (LAFFIN)
I still cry sometimes
wonderin' why Clayton died
why blacktop is boring and why ol' Georgia still lives
on a red dirt road.
listenin' to a Father who cries out
in laughter... and then in tears
for a Son
who will never come home.
