This one is a song about my hometown. All I need is music. Any good musicians
out there? =) Royalties for you if you can bring it to life.

Rurality
--------

The winters are cold
And the summer's are mild
It's a mundane life
For a northern child

Everywhere the folks
Are all standing in line
Outside the big beer tent
By the liquor sign

A buck twenty-five
Just to get in the door
The fishers fork it out
They just got into shore

Relaxin' at their tables
All the trout's been weighed-in
They have a big fish dinner
Let the dancing begin

Whoa-o-whoa oh the fun never ends
Whoa-o-whoa once the day begins
Whoa-o-whoa come and bring all your friends
Whoa-o-whoa gotta love those small town trends

All the farmer's daughters
Aren't all work and no play
Taking truck-driving cowboys
For a roll in the hay

If I'd had my chance
At least one would be mine
But fate spit in my face
Yet I'm doing just fine

I didn't need a girl
To have my fun
I could still stay icy cool
In the Michigan sun

But when I drive
Downtown on the streets today
And see the same damn thing
I just gotta say

Whoa-o-whoa gotta say what I feel
Whoa-o-whoa did I get a raw deal
Whoa-o-whoa being born in this town
Whoa-o-whoa is enough to bring a good man down

I see a small town preacher
Preachin' small town religion
I see a small town old lady
Feedin' a small town pigeon
I see a small town reporter
Spoutin' small town news
I got smalltownitis 
And a case of the small town blues

Whoa-o-whoa what a nice little dump
Whoa-o-whoa exciting as a tree stump
Whoa-o-whoa what did I do wrong
Whoa-o-whoa to be stuck here my whole life long

Whoa-o-whoa oh the fun never ends
Whoa-o-whoa when the day begins
Whoa-o-whoa come and bring all your friends
Whoa-o-whoa gotta love those small town trends
