I suspect lots of folk on this forum relate to the song 100%.
It was very thoughtful of you to comment. Thank you,Tom

The entire lyric is a great capture of so many of our Georgia small towns, and the above verse is outstanding.
We often talk about missing the sight of the “old men” in overalls sittin' and whittlin' on benches in front of the clapboard neighborhood grocery store.

Awesome steel and guitar Tom, along with your vocals! And, man, that mix!!
Loved it!

Thanks for quoting the lyric. I’m certainly happy you liked it, Tom
