My Hometown

* I had intended this for a competition but I misread the forum lol oh well it was still a fun write, Enjoy :-)

Yanceyville? Where is that?
Just some small town   you’ve never heard of, never been to, and probably never will visit
Populated with antiques, not just the places, but also the faces
This town of old country roads, and back roads, curvy roads filled with tractor road,
Dodging deer attacks every night roads, roads painted in summer with tobacco leaves,
Roads named after uncles, cousins and great grandparents
Just two stop lights in my town, you blink and you could miss it
A place where we drive and people honk and wave
Everyone knows your mama, knows your car and how long you’ve had it
And if you ask your grandma, she’ll tell you how everyone’s related
I’ve loved it, I’ve hated, the place I graduated
Left for college and returned, and brought back lessons learned
That there is no place like home…Yanceyville
It’s where I had my first kiss, my first fight
First known heartache and first real heartbreak
Guess you could say she taught and raised me

In my sleepy little town, things shut around 11:00, mainly because that’s the time food lion closes
A place of small town people, with big city dreams
Who love the place some much they could never leave
It’s a town of barefoot summers, sleeve shirts, and mud clad boots
A town of working hands of the working man,
Farmers, teachers, third generation preachers
Small town hometown heroes and families with legendary histories  

So to the world that my never find or may never know.
Search google and even it may not show.
My town, my hometown,
Big piece of my heart and little place on the map
Yanceyville....
