From the CD Terroir Blues
I will wat for you in the green, green
spaces,
Wearing our post-industrial faces.
Side by side sit the trashpile twin,
And the eleventh century center of the
Misissippian,
With the calender of the sun,
A people undone.
Ceremonial mounds in the backyards and towns,
That's the way it runed out.
A city built up on the other great mound torn
down,
That's the way it happened.
A culture on the run,
They vanished in the sun,
The Mississippian.
Forward and on we go,
Building our mounds out of control,
Full of our finest throw away things.
The new Mississippians,
Under a smog choked sun,
Waiting to be undone.

One of my favorite songs. I also like Kasey
Chambers cover, may post also. Saint
Genevieve,Mo. south of St. Louis was
threatened by floods in 1993, people came
from all around to help save this small town.
It's one of the early European settlements
west of the Mississippi, founded in 1735.Jay
wrote about it in this song. Enjoy.
