Mary Chapin Carpenter: I Am a Town

aus dem Album: Between Here and Gone

Songtext:
I'm a town in Carolina, I'm a detour on a ride Klebefolien
For a phone call and a soda, I'm a blur from the driver's side
I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five
I am Texaco and tobacco, I am dust you leave behind Digitaldruck Langenfeld

I am peaches in September, and corn from a roadside stall
I'm the language of the natives, I'm a cadence and a drawl Downloads Toskana

boys have left their beer cans
I am weeds between the graves. 3D Screensaver XP

My porches sag and lean with old black men and children
Their sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them Spiele basteln
I am a town.

I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain Pfingsten Kinder
I'm a Baptist like my daddy, and Jesus knows my name
I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age; I am not your destination
I am clinging to my ways Immobilien Starnberg
I am a town.

I'm a town in Carolina, I am billboards in the fields
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels
I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South"
I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign, on the rural route
I am a town
I am a town
I am a town
Southbound.
