MACONSONG
lyrics & music by Kristen M. Thomas, Chuck Van Riper copyright 2011

Man I’m sitting here
Missin my tribe
I used to run with
Aint got but a few nickels
To rub together yeah
Like an old dog
My guitar lays at my feet
My broken heart
Wants to sing a song so sweet

Cherry blossoms fall
From my Macon song
Sweet Melissa sings to my soul
Hey Mister, won’t you listen to my song
Hey Mister, change is good
Yeah I’m makin it back home.

Take me back
To my friends I miss so much
arms of peace and love and understanding
Let us dip our feet
In the Ocmulgee
Walk the brick-lined streets
Down from College to Cherry

Magnolia blossoms fall
From my Macon song
Stillwater sings to my soul
Hey Mister, won’t you listen to my song
Hey Mister, change is good
Yeah I’m makin it back home

Been starving in this Nashvilletown
It’s time to go on home
The Ocmulgee river calls my hungry soul
Wish Mama Louise was still alive
She was colorblind
Fed hippies and the blacks n whites
at the HnH divine

Cherry blossoms fall
From my Macon song
Lucille is calling home my soul
Hey Mister, won’t you listen to my song
Hey Mister, change is good
Yeah I’m makin it back home.

thanks for the change
I’m on my way
Gonna hitchhike that glory ride
catch that ol’Atlanta greyhound runnin south
I’ll be standin
With all my friends
In the Hummingbird
Raise my glass and toast the town
I love so much.

Magnolia blossoms fall
From my Macon song
Otis Redding sings to my soul
Hey Mister, won’t you listen to my song
Hey Mister, your change is good
Yeah I’m makin it back home
Yeah I’m makin it back home

Cherry blossoms fall
From my Macon song
Sweet Melissa sings to my soul
Hey Mister, won’t you listen to my song
Hey Mister, change is good
Yeah I’m makin it back home.
makin it back home.
