Mayberry

I've got another song to share with y'all. I'll apologize ahead of time because it's a country song and I know not everyone enjoys that as much as me. (-:

I guess I was driving home from class on Friday when I heard this song. I immediately turned up the radio, turned off the AC and rolled my windows down. This song came out when I was maybe a freshman in high school... or maybe 8th grade I'm not sure but I've always loved this song.

It talks about such a simple time.... which none of the guys who sing it ever lived during so I don't know why they sing about it like they do. Never the less it makes me happy.

I joke and say we live in the country because I drive down a small street with lots of grass and trees. And once their was a dead deer on the road. So this song made me happy as I was driving to our "country apartment".

Sometimes it feels like this world

Is spinning faster

Than it did in the old days

So naturally, we have more

Natural disasters

From the strain of a fast pace

Sunday was a day of rest

Now it's one more day for progress

And we can't slow down 'cause

More is best

It's all an endless process

(Well) I miss Mayberry

Sitting on the porch drinking

Ice cold Cherry Coke

Where everything is black and white

Picking on a six string

Where people pass by and you call

Them by their first name

Watching the clouds roll by

Bye, bye

Sometimes I can hear this old

Earth shouting

Through the trees as the wind blows

That's when I climb up here on

This mountain

To look through God's window

Now I can't fly but I got two feet

That get me high up here

Above the noise and city streets

My worries disappear

(Well) I miss Mayberry

Sitting on the porch drinking

Ice cold Cherry Coke

Where everything is black and white

Picking on a six string

Where people pass by and you call

Them by their first name

Watching the clouds roll by

Bye, bye

Sometimes I dream I'm driving

Down an old dirt road

Not even listed on a map

I pass a dad and son carrying a

Fishing pole

But I always wake up every time I try

To turn back

(Well) I miss Mayberry

Sitting on the porch drinking

Ice cold Cherry Coke

Where everything is black and white

Picking on a six string

Where people pass by and you call

Them by their first name

Watching the clouds roll by

Bye, bye

Bye, bye

(I miss Mayberry, I miss Mayberry)
