They moved hotels,

Dug up the graves,

When the boys came back from the

Flood the river to the Chapmans

Somebody’s grandpa,

And to make something shape,

Gather his family,

And claim land off of the claim.

The river will flow . . .

It goes where it goes,

I pray that all be delivered,

And they know the river will flow.

It’s somebody’s history,

And half of my lineage,

Is side-by-side,

In Montgomery

Ladies are a dream a lady’s heart a
King,

He left America in balance

Sad songs to sing,

On the cattle eyed ride,
Em Dadd4 Em
1952 come New Years Eve Night.

The Nashville sky,

That whole river,
