Prettiest Town in Dixie

An ode to my hometown. This demo transitions into an instrumental semi-officially called Cabin Creek Jam. Good stuff.

That city limit sign vexes me
Says the prettest town in Dixie
Well pretty is as pretty does
And nothing here is pretty cause
She drug us back to the Great Pee Dee
Met an old flame now she’s leaving me

Chorus:
I see people who are still my friends
And some who used to be
With a friendly smile … it’s been a while
They buy a drink for me
Cause they know why I’m here
They’ll know why I’m gone
I came to be with the girl I love
Now I’m leaving here alone

We climbed that tower in ’93
I was her flower she was my bee
Wrote our names for the world to see
Now look what she’s done to me
What started out right turned out so wrong
I’m stuck in a place I don’t belong

Bridge:
I’ve had all the southern comfort
This boy can ever stand
Except for the whisky in this bottle
In my shaking hand

She promised we’d build a life back home
Why does this feel it’s me alone
Trying to live among the ghosts
Of the things I miss the most
Like her and me when this used to be
The prettiest town in Dixie

The prettiest town in Dixie
Really did a number on me
