Geography Man
I’m from Cheraw, South Carolina
Lived there for seventeen years and ten months
My mother still lives in the house where I was born
I don’t get back there often enough
Chorus:
But I’ve got maps on my walls
I’ve got some really big plans
I’ve got maps on my walls
I’m a geography man
I’ve spent some time in Fort Worth
Got married there in ninety three
My grandmother never went to Texas
My sister lives in College Grove, Tennessee
Chorus:
But I’ve got maps on my walls
I’ve got some really big plans
I’ve got maps on my walls
I’m a geography man
Bridge:
Some of them came from National Geographic
A few came from the AAA
(or was that the AA)
One I stole from the library
The others, well I just can’t say
I’ve been to Charlottesville, Virginia
I’ve got a buddy who lives there
He married a rich man’s daughter
Now my buddy is a millionaire
Chorus:
But I’ve got maps on my walls
I’ve got some really big plans
Yes I’ve got maps on my walls
I’m a geography man
I like to watch the Weather Channel
And I read People Magazine
I keep a list of people I haven’t met
And I memorize places I’ve never been
Chorus:
But I’ve got maps on my walls
I’ve got some really big plans
I’ve got maps on my walls
I’m a geography man
