FOR TINA AND HER FRIENDS

Those of us who’ve lived and learned
Still don’t know how to lose
When a good friend passes on
We are lost and most confused

We must cling to what we have
The memories we love best
We remember all the good
As Calhoun County is put to rest

We’ll savor the memories ‘til we’re gone
We’ll only see the sun that shines
The beauty of the home-grown town
The joy in Calhoun County lives

There is another story when this one ends
Another county comes to light
But no other Tina can carry on
Or make our lives as bright
