So far away from home, but it feels like Birmingham
Capturing pictures of it all to post on Instagram
Now thinking if I should relocate for better perspicacity
Alluding that something different will not be bad for me
Nick still by my side, no telling what we're getting into
He's chosen to drive, and I'll assist on what I can do
And I say, "the bomb gals always live near the lakes"
He says, "we're almost in Huntsville, and I'm not trying to wait".
There we chill, but it's far from frigid outside today
Conversation drifts into, "what if we decide to stay?"
The Idea is gold, as we hope some day it will happen
Soon we wrap it up. And tomorrow? Another Sunday in Gadsden.

30 miles out, I'm here to stay
Soon you will leave and be on your way
To work of course, back where I was living
Gadsden to Oxford, long drive, are you kidding?
Like what am I doing? I'm new to this city
As I drive the bridge, glancing at the river that's pretty
It's Even better at night
Let the lights cast over the water, it gives a reflection so bright
I'm tucked away in what seems to be the edge of town
One lonely street, not a peep, not a sound
By now I'm use to the privacy of it all
Referring to my old house, where the drive way compares to Great China Wall
All love to the new owners they really pulled a bargain
A backyard orchard, a pond, and a garden
Here I am, a townhouse, the space is so different
30 miles out, not a curse to be distant

If you're trying to push your Coupe' DeVille
from Panama City to Jacksonville
You've got to journey through Gadsden County.
So you better mind your P's and Q's
if you plan on driving through
and keep both eyes wide open for the County Mounty.
'Cause Gadsden County Jail's no place to be
it's overcrowded and dirty and it smells like pee
and every dime you have will surely be taken away.
They'll impound your car and arrest your wife
the kids will all get twenty-five to life
and your family will surely rue the day
You decided to take a Florida Vacation
and you all came back sentenced to probation
just because Gadsden County was on your way.
If you're guilty or not doesn't matter with them
their bank accounts are mighty slim
and they're gonna get your money whatever it takes.
There's a booking fee just to get you in
you gotta pay for your food which is awfully thin
so friend, avoid Gadsden County for goodness sake.
