I nearly lost it today when my Jason-bug ran up to me and grabbed my leg, not letting go, and said over and over again, "I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you." What's a girl to do?
My heart is so torn. I've got grading to finish and packing to finish, but I'd rather just curl up into a ball and cry my eyes out.
I don't know where my home is anymore, but I've been listening to those country songs that are soo country, the ones that reach into my heart and touch the part that says home. But now I don't know if I'm Southern or Asian.
At one of my goodbye parties a few nights ago, they kept telling me to remember to come back home (here) ... it truly does feel like home. On the other hand I can't wait to be back in Franklin, spending time with my family and enjoying a hot Tennessee summer with good food, good friends, and good fun.
Why is life so hard sometimes?
BACK WHERE I COME FROM
In the town where I was raised
Clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from.
You can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank
Miss count all the beers you drank
Back where I come from.
Back where I come from,
Where Ill be when it is said and done,
Im proud as anyone thats where I come from.
We learned in a Sunday school
Just who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too
Back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white
Back where I come from
Back where I come from,
Where Ill be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone thats where I come from.
Some say its a backwards place
Narrow minds on a narrow race
But I make it a point to say thats where I come from.
Thats where I come from,
Where Ill be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone thats where I come from.
Thats where I come from
I'm an old Tennesseean
I am as proud as any one thats where I come from
Back where I come from
