Just a girl
Who Loves
her hometown
And that
everyone knows everyone else
But you
better not be late to church
And don’t get
caught down on clay road
Or over
there on green iron bridge
Look decent
for breakfast on Saturday mornings
Over there
at Liz’s café
Cause if you
don’t the old men will talk
About how you were up to no good the night
before.
Friday night
football was king
And the
whole town was in attendance
But it was
always the loudest when we played them damn ol’ Warriors
Even granny
let a few curse words slip during those games
Homecoming
was more than just a night but a whole week long ordeal
Everyone
turned in their john deere green for their Bruin blue
No two bits
or four bits needed cause everyone was already
Hollerin for
Tri-West
Once those
leaves were changed
It was time
to hand out a few dirt naps
We all wanted
that champion buck
The cold
came better plug in your truck
That snow
drifted just as high as the bus
School
cancelations
Meant get
your atv out
Riding through
the drifts was fun
Til someone
got stuck
Once spring
time hit
You were in
the fields from dawn til dusk
And you
prayed for rain
But not too
damn much
them warm
summer nights were for raisin hell
and if the
lord did bless us with too much rain
well then
you better head on out to the outskirts of town
down there
off 200 in your 4x4
drinkin a
cold one and wheelin
was the
perfect summer night
but you better
be in by the time momma wakes up
and you will
regret when you gotta bale for 10 hours
the next
day.
Saturdays
were spent at the track
Weather it
was oval stock car races
Or them
fleece boys showing off
And pullin
all the wannabes all the way home
It doesn’t matter
What people
say
Nothing will
ever be as good as my Hometown!
I just went very basic with these assignment! Everything about this is mine and everyone else's life from back home. I did grow up in a very small very rural part of Indiana, so this was our very simple little life!
I loved this ! The way you talked about your football games and how the whole town was in attendance I loved that because thats exactly how my home town was. I like how you talk about ATVS and john deere and the track. It sounds like there was always something to do in your town and you all found your own entertainment . Your hometown sounds really cool.
