UNTITLED
Big city boy taking a step back
Small town girl bags already packed
Passing by like ships in the night
Both with dreams ready to take flight
A cup of coffee and a slice of pie
She's got a twinkle in her eye
Smothered and covered with a side of grits
This place is far from the Ritz
He's got cotton fields and magnolia flowers
But she wants Sammy and Sears Tower
The mighty Mississippi and a honeybee hive
Can't compare to the buzz of Lakeshore Drive
He wants so much to be her Atticus
She wonders where that 8:30 bus is
He searches for the words that will make her stay
She's waiting for the dawn of a new day
Thoroughly modern having breakfast at Tiffany's
Ever ready to conquer that windy city
And when she's done she'll hop across the pond
Ready to live her life with Mr. Bond
He's got cotton fields and magnolia flowers
But she wants Big Ben and London Tower
Hotty toddy, Graceland and muddy waters
Can't compete with Shakespeare and Tralfalgar
Me
