Take Me Home, Potholed Roads

by Earl Corp

Nowhere near heaven, Pennsylvania,

Allegheny Mountains, Monongahela River

Life is stagnant there, declining quickly

Unemployment’s rampant, We’re broke typically

Potholed Roads, take me home

To the place I belong,

Pennsylvana, Disillusioned mama

Take me home, Potholed roads

All my memories gather 'round her

Mill worker’s lady, not used to finer things

Gray and dreary, painted on the sky

Full bodied taste of Iron City, despair in my eye,

Potholed roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Pennsylvania, Disillusioned mama

Take me home, Potholed roads

I hear her voice too early, she calls me

The radio reminds of my situation

Drivin' down the road, My wheel alignment’s shot,

Potholed roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Pensylvania, Disillususioned mama

Take me home, Potholed roads

Potholed roads, take me home

To the place I belong,

Pennsylvania, Disillusiond mama,

Take me home, Potholed roads

Writing Prompt
Poems are Part I of every song with lyrics. Choose a song you love, and re-write the words. Can be a Broadway tune, a pop or country song, even a Christmas carol -any song at all! But whatever it is, you'll help yourself in the polls if you also post a recorded version of the original song when you post the new-and-improved lyrics/contest entry by you. (Because the voters might not be familiar with the tune, so giving them a chance to listen to it will help them "hear" yours!)
