Lyrics
(February 3rd, 2002. Jacksonville, Florida.)
Three crosses in a copse of trees
A long way from Calvary
Kiltered in the southern breeze
In Northern Carolina
Words of God are advertised
High above in an empty sky
I feel sad and I don't know why
In Northern Carolina
Driving down the 95
Left winter far behind
And it might rain but I don't mind
'Cause I've got the window down
Woman in the Welcome House
She's a flower of the South
Words are jewels in her mouth
In Northern Carolina
Had the Southland on my mind
Crossed the Mason-Dixon Line
I'm a long way from my kind
In Northern Carolina
Driving down the 95
Left winter far behind
And it might rain but I don't mind
'Cause I've got the window down
Three crosses in a copse of trees
A long way from Calvary
Kiltered in the Southern breeze
In Northern Carolina

Trivia
This is the interstate that runs down the east coast of America. It's not so much a journey into the heart of the country as a trip under the skin.
