Mississippi Is...
It’s where I’m from.
Born in Laurel, Jones County.
Raised on a dead-end dirt road.
Waded most every branch of water,
climbed most every tree around home.
It’s where I am.
Clarke County near Quitman. Home now.
Beautiful country around here.
Wonderful people around here.
It’s where I’ll be.
My wife and I have been blessed to visit all 50 states,
and Washington D.C.
Also, Canada and Mexico. Love it all.
But no other place like Mississippi.
Yes, it’s where I’ll be.
