We got street corner crimes, businessmen galore
While Billy Bob plays checkers, at your country store

Tradin' in my time, KEEP YOUR fist full of dough
RATHER turn the soil, tryING to make MY LIFE grow
KEEP YOUR STREET CORNER CRIMES AMONG THE MASSES OF STONE
GIVE ME THE DIRT ROADS AND CORN ROWS WAVING ME HOME.


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
