Hoagy

I've never been to Memphis. I'm guessing the portrait the Hoagy Carmichael paints in this song is more than a little dated. But it's one beautiful song that captures the dream of a place rather than the place itself. Listen.

indiana

driving down the
country road
straight and flat
windows open
humid air
still warm
from the day
blowing our hair
as we glide
rows of green corn
stand at ease
while flickering fireflies
dance above golden tassels
in the low silent light
of evenin'
