The town I live in is such a disgrace
everyone is way past the second base
The people, so not enough to count on
I'm pretty sure I can name you a con
Getting a degree is all that we need
I wonder who is fighting for the deed
There are way to many times that we have fun
I hate the cold but I love the big sun
The bad thing bout this town is all the DRAMA
I know someone that owns a big llama
I can't believe the big mouths we have
Why don't they go hide in a real big cave
The good; all the people and your good friend
I have a real nice church that I attend

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
