In Defense Of Our Good Name




Returning to solace

So sweet like honeysuckle on the tongue

The sound of silence blesses my ears

Enveloping like the earth I will one day lie in

Metropolis is bad to wither the soul

Roaring concrete and steel washes you in blood.

So let you point and laugh

Provincial ain't so bad.

Take me back down to where I belong

To rust in rivers.

I do not covet any man's life

I know my place all too well

One man's paradise is another man's living hell.

To each their own

Generation's ago made this place my own

The roots are deep and strong

Carry them wherever I go.


Never wanted your approval

Never wanted your acceptance

Never wanted to be anything but me

Never wanted to be anywhere but here.

Carry me Southeast bound home


To speak in defense of our good name

Lay me to rest with my kin

In the ground of God's country.


Lash out at any who would smear you with hate

Deify no one, never crawl ashamed

The past screams injustice on Southern night wind

Whips manacles chains musket balls

A dark history never forgotten

Only misconception remains.


Speak in defense of our good name

The blood of kin grants absolution

I'll join them soon enough in the ground of God's country.


Never wanted your acceptance

Never wanted your approval

Never wanted to be anything but me

Never wanted to be anywhere but here.
