With so much political division on display lately. I thought I would make a comment on one of the longest lasting cultural divides in America. This is that comment…..

Way Down South


he came to town with a suitcase a fiddle and a bow

feeling just as empty as a pocket with a hole

the highway north from Big Stone gap was the way to get ahead

No future where he came from where the past is never dead



Way Down south from the wrong side of the tracks

They made fun of his southern accent

right behind his back

he talked to his Mama every day

And I could tell if he had his way

He would rather be Way Down South


ain’t no strangers here he said so come and set a spell

grab a beer you won't believe the stories i can tell

you gotta go through hell to get to heaven or else you shouldn’t leave

this far from home a simple man is the hardest thing to be


Way Down south from the wrong side of the tracks

They made fun of his southern accent

right behind his back

he talked to his Mama every day

And I could tell if he had his way

He would rather be Way Down South


he said i miss my sanctuary my refuge my home

Whatever people think of me is out of my control


Way Down south from the wrong side of the tracks

They made fun of his southern accent

right behind his back

he talked to his Mama every day

And I could tell if he had his way

He would rather be Way Down South
