THE STICKS (c) 2017

IT WAS
1963
AND LIKE MARTIN LUTHER
KING
I TOO
HAD A DREAM
AND THATS WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE
WITH ME


YOU WERE A COLORED GIRL
FROM SELMA ALABAMA
I WAS A WHITE COUNTRY HICK
BOY FROM THE HILLS
OF TENNESSEE
WE WENT TO SCHOOL UP
IN STATE COLLEGE
PENNSYLVANIA





NOW MY FATHER WAS A RACIST AND
YOUR DADDY DIDNT WANT YOU
TO BE WITH A WHIT EBOY
FROM THE STICKS
WE NEVER SAW EYE TO EYE
BUT THAT NEVER STOPPED
ME ONE BIT

I WROTE YOU ONE LETTER
EACH WEEK FOR AN ENTIRE
YEAR
I OFFERED TO BUY YOUR DADDY
A CASE OF HOME GROWN
