HOOTIE AND HIS SONGS

That old Hootie, he just won't give up. Now he's pushing his songs at me. But I know him better than that. He just took one of mine and did a little editing and gave it back to me as his own, dang it! Hope you like it...

LINCOLN COUNTY

Sittin' here tonight in North Columbus,
A lot of questions goin' through my mind.
And I'm writin' them down for you to answer,
And let me know about that home of mine.
How are things back home in West Virginia?
Are the far off hills that same old shade of blue?
Does Hamlin still sit beside that old Mud River?
If I came home would I have a chance with you?

Oh, I want to be back home in Lincoln County.
That's the only place I want to be.
And I can be there early in the mornin'.
All it takes is for you to agree.

If I just came back to Lincoln County,
Would you welcome me, or would you turn your face?
Would your arms be wide open to me, woman?
Do you still want to put me in my place?
Are they still minin' coal down there at Harts Creek?
Is that old State Route 10 still a mess?
If I came home and bought a shack at Ranger,
Would a love for me you still confess?

Oh, I want to be back home in Lincoln County.
That's the only place I want to be.
And I can be there early in the mornin'.
All it takes is for you to agree.


Oh, I want to be back home in Lincoln County.
That's the only place I want to be.
And I can be there early in the mornin'.
All it takes is for you to agree.
So pick up the phone and call me.




OK, Hootie, find me another one you've grabbed off while I wasn't looking.
