Where Am I From?
See if you can guess where I am from
Add all the clues up and total your sum
Here there are many trees and lush, green grass
Honeysuckles, crepe myrtle, and summers that last and last
The chirping of birds may wake you and crickets will sing you a lullaby
Old houses creak and settle and lazy days go by
Youngins' have the privilege of piggy back rides
And Yankee dimes are given far and wide
Work here can be hard and pay is cheap
But when night falls, you'll have peaceful sleep
The neighbors know everything about you
They may be a little nosy, but they love you too
They will watch out for you
Because it's just what they do
The food here is heavenly
And...not everything is fried
And despite what Oprah says
We are not all wide
She came from here, by the way
Elvis did too
Others include: Charley Pride, Jimmie Rodgers, and Jerry Rice
Just to name a few...
Where am I from??
