The Heart Of Georgia
My grandma taught the golden rule
From inside of a one-room school
My grandpa drove an old farmall
So the corn could grow green and tall
I learned all about life in a pair worn out boots
When you find your Sunnyside, you’ll find your roots
You can throw a rock from sign to sign
But don’t think we’re left back in time
You’ll never have to call on a friend
Cause we love each other like we’re kin
Two black marks on a long street
A Super Sport that I bet you can’t beat
A blue eyed blonde from the flatwoods
Down on the Big Sandy it never felt so good
Sunday preachin’, dinner on the grounds
On the back row with the lost and found
We all feel so rich when we’re on that land
Cause it’s were our ancestors made their stand
If you listen when the moon is full
You can hear that guitar squall
You’ll know the foxes are rockin’ the fur-shed wall
Hold on when the Georgia pines start to sway
Cause that piano is gonna play
We all have a different name, but we’re all the same
Doin’ the best we can with no one to blame
They call us country, hillbillies and rednecks
But I don’t care, you can’t cash their checks
All those big cities are just a waste of time
I seen a few, so be careful of the ladder you climb
No matter if you’re from a J, D, or a T-Ville
Never let that concrete change the way you feel
Just be proud you’re livin’...
