Текст (слова) песни: Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Am A Town
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
I`m a town in Carolina, I`m a detour on a ride For aphone call and a soda, I`m a blur from the driver`s side I`m the last gas for an hour if you`re going twenty-five I am Texaco and tobacco, I am dust you leave behind
I am peaches in September, and corn from a roadside stall I`m the language of the natives, I`m a cadence and a drawl I`m the pines behind the graveyard, and the cool beneath their shade, where the boys have left their beer cans I am weeds between the graves.
My porches sag and lean with old black men and children Their sleep is filled with dreams, I never can fulfill them I am a town.
I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain I`m a Baptist like my daddy, and Jesus knows my name I am memory and stillness, I am lonely in old age; I am not your destination I am clinging to my ways I am a town.
I`m a town in Carolina, I am billboards in the fields I`m an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South" I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign, on the rural route I am a town I am a town I am a town Southbound.
