As I travel around this great country that we all call our home

There is something that stands out and shows what seems to be going on

It’s the masses of people from the north moving to the south

It may be the State of Florida, Georgia,Texas or the Carolinas to buy their new house

When traveling throughout the north east, construction sites they are rare

But when you cross the Mason Dixon, all of a sudden construction it’s everywhere

New homes are being built at such a rapid pace just to fill the need

And rental trucks and moving vans heading south on the interstate at constant breakneck speed

Now I’m just an old small town southern country boy that have mixed feelings about all the growth

But when you live in the greatest place on earth it’s a dream place to live for most

They say they are running from the harsh weather or maybe fast pace of life up north

But I think the real reason is they heard about my Grandma’s smothered fried Chicken, Collard Greens, Corn Bread and Sweet Tea, of course

From My World to Yours,
