Society HillDriving south on Old Cash Road Beside empty fields and model homes This two lane road I take Winds like an old black snake Heading towards the great unknown A mile past the trestle bridge I'll take a left on Route 52 Join a long line of travelers Whose lives have come unraveled Searching for some greater truth Chorus: They've been knocking my childhood down Looking for something that can't be found That mythical thing called enough That brings peace of mind and true love The farms have been subdivided And they're building houses in their place Where people use dollars like sandbags Trying to keep the storms at bay I live on the family farm Daddy's faded tractor in the yard Behind an old barbwire fence That's mounting a brave defense With a rusty cattle guard My folks have been gone for years But I held on to the old homestead It's my one chance for refuge High ground before the deluge The threatens the life we led Chorus: They've been knocking my childhood down Looking for something that can't be found That mythical thing called enough That brings peace of mind and true love The farms have been subdivided And they're building houses in their place Where people use dollars like sandbags Trying to keep the storms at bay Bridge: In the thick kudzu vines That grow on Society Hill You trace your family lines And mourn for all you've lost You think about loved ones Who sweated for every acre And you know you'll die on that land No matter what the cost Chorus: They've been knocking my childhood down Looking for something that can't be found That mythical thing called enough That brings peace of mind and true love The farms have been subdivided And they're building houses in their place Where people use dollars like sandbags Trying to keep the storms at bay Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
