Southern Style

 Leaves grow a bright green,
In a rural Spring,
Plantin' seeds with my Pop,
Don't stop till the sun drops


Now that the work's all done,
Time to have some fun,
Gonna dosado tonight,
When we get down, we do it right

 

 Birds a singin' their song,
Summer has come along,

Mosquitos doin' their thing,

But it's only a minor sting

 

City folks just don't understand,

How good we've got it in this land,

Fried chicken and sweet tea,

That's all it takes to please me

 

 Reds, oranges, and yellows catch the eye,

Oh how Autumn's splendor makes me sigh,

Festivals with the local's apple cider,

Little Billy is a Halloween spider

 

Gathering firewood to prepare,

For the next cold season we must bear,

Squirrels are doin' the same,

But nuts ain't our game

 

 The first snow is near,

Winter is finally here,

Coats are out of the closet,

Water has frozen in the faucet

 

The whole family is invited in December,

For a Christmas we'll always remember,

Awake together till the clock reads 12:01,

A new year has just begun

 

 God's greatest gift by a mile,

Lettin' me grow up Southern style
