It's A Start

(album: Southern Star - 2023)

Well it's springtime down around Slaughter Creek Dirt Road
I bet the crawfish bite any bait thrown in the hole
Got my six string strung, this song on my heart
It ain't about a thing but by God it's a start

And it feels so good being here with you
Just burning firewood
Telling jokes we learned from old folks
Sipping cokes with barbecue

There's a junkyard there somewhere in that kudzu
I know it's hard to see but underneath's 442
Cutlass Oldsmobile
I used to dream to run
I am dreaming still, these days just for fun

And it feels so good being here with you
Just burning firewood
Reminiscing missing old times
Wishing we still called them new

And it feels so good being here with you
Just burnin firewood
Telling jokes we learned from old folks
Sipping cokes with barbecue

Well it's fall time down around Slaughter Creek Dirt Road
The place that takes the credit for half the lies I've told
Got my six string strung, this song on my heart
It ain't about a thing but by God it's a start
