Keep me down south,
where discipline is doled out
with a sobering “no, sir”
and “excuse me, ma’am.”
Down where it’s only natural to smell the rain coming,
and you can always count on someone
to join in remembering and cursing
that heifer, Katrina.
I don’t want nothing to do with “you guys,”
I only want to be one of “y’all.”
Go on and leave me down by the Mississippi, and
baptize me in them muddy currents.
