I am from screen doors and blue porches

From dirt roads and green grass

From bare-feet and mud between my toes

I am from creek banks and fishing poles

From hiking boots and dark woods

From deer meat and jerky

I am from church on Sunday morning and “God’s word is law”

From Wednesday nights and vacation bible school

From “Jesus loves me” and “Amazing Grace”

I am from old trucks and beat up tractors

From gas stations and lottery tickets

From Doritos and Mountain Dew

I am from holidays and reunions

From barbeques and cookouts

From fireworks and presents
