Songs Title:i am a town[00:00:04]
I'm a town in Carolina I'm a detour on a ride[00:00:19]
For a phone call and a soda I'm a blur from the driver's side[00:00:28]
I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five[00:00:37]
I am Texaco and tobacco I am dust you leave behind[00:00:46]
I am peaches in September and corn from a roadside stall[00:00:56]
I'm the language of the natives I'm a cadence and a drawl[00:01:06]
I'm the pines behind the graveyard and the cool beneath their shade[00:01:15]
Where the boys have left their beer cans[00:01:24]
I am weeds between the graves [00:01:29]
My porches sag and lean with old black men and children[00:01:35]
Their sleep is filled with dreams I never can fulfill them[00:01:45]
I am a town [00:01:53]
I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain[00:02:13]
I'm a Baptist like my daddy and Jesus knows my name[00:02:22]
I am memory and stillness I am lonely in old age; I am not your destination[00:02:31]
I am clinging to my ways[00:02:45]
I am a town [00:02:49]
I'm a town in Carolina I am billboards in the fields[00:03:19]
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks missing all my wheels[00:03:28]
I am Pabst Blue Ribbon American and "Southern Serves the South"[00:03:37]
I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign on the rural route[00:03:47]
I am a town[00:03:56]
I am a town[00:04:00]
I am a town[00:04:05]
