Two States One Union In Southern Hospitality

Somewhere in her white house There was a gray future spouse Looking for cheese Doing as he please Enchanting accent came from the mouth A drawing sound noting the south Filled with luring charm Made a home by telling many a yarn Living in a guest quarter Which he could barely afford her Making his ways through academic halls Everyone studying engravings on the walls Defending peaceful thoughts interacting throughout student’s mall Coming to a relaxing place Seeing Carolina’s face “They are making their case” The blue angel said About the reason she should not wed And take a lifelong committed man into her first bed “We have a right During our fight To cross our stripes Challenging city slicker’s type Slanting our color navy being no fool While having a civil feud” Wanting a comfort shot he stood calm Listening to reality going on This was love not a raunchy affair Where revenge was the dare “We made an X for a reason It was not an ax that was treason Wanting out of the union Northerner’s knew not what they were doing Money here money there We belles had land everywhere” Now this fellow Understood his bride’s bellow And wanted a few minutes to mellow “Look at the sun It is almost done Orange skies You are marrying a beautiful guy I am a gamecock Early morning riser with nice stock While you are a Tar Heel When hearts were a major steal Our relationship is very real Friends and family will watch us seal This romantic deal Then enjoy a joyful meal” Hearing his soothing voice She knew he was the proper choice “Our United States is at war Diplomatic rhetoric acting out having the stage floor Rotten as a big apple at the core” Honest feelings had truth Questionable just like the Yankee spectacle Babe Ruth “Remember when physical interaction was deemed a sin Gossip talking where the two have been After our vows and we are alone Shutting off all Ma Bell phones I will state to only you Never will we be through” Below the Mason Dixon line Where others are treated very kind Moon reminded them where they met No longer was the daylight set Darkness figured out this was the perfect get Lunar glare smiling watching the innocent talk Hoping they will be happy after the matrimony walk
