Thank you for the kind words! I notice you live in Alabama now. I grew up in a rural area east of Montgomery and had a pretty healthy respect for the swampy parts there - there were snakes, alligators, and in fact also a broken-down tin-roof shack on posts in the middle of a flooded area covered with scummy, black water, which terrified me as a kid - I had no idea if anyone still lived there then and if so, who. (And that's what I was thinking of when I wrote the song)
