My Kind of Town
As you enter the town you admire its lake,
the historical houses being quite quaint,
variety of different shopping just in case,
the restaurants there being tops and first rate,
Not too heavily populated and taxes are low,
the pace not too fast and not too slow,
you can rent a boat and on the lake row,
or climb the diving board and off you go,
Or you can go for a picnic at the park,
and afterward go for a nice leisurely walk,
crime is low so don't have to worry about the dark,
most people you pass by happy as a lark,
I think I'd like to maybe move here one day,
it's a perfect place for people to work or to play,
Id sit on my back porch sipping some lemonade,
enjoying the sun and the gentle breeze off the lake,
As the summers here are southernly warm,
the winters not northernly cold,
whenever I drive through Guntersville, Alabama
its so picturesque my heart just soars.
