our birth locality makes a difference
oh much of what we know, do and see
has to do with our birth locality
you won’t know how to shuck corn in any way
unless born in Nebraska, Illinois or Ioway
Born in a forest, we are not awed by a tree
which could make your heart leap in New York City
Midwesterners could not ride well in a subway
unless you could teach them city skills in one lone day
oh much of what we know, do and see
has to do with our birth locality
we might be hicks, but we do well in sticks
whereas city slickers would be confused by our tricks.
