"The Place You'd Most Want To Live (Interlude)" lyrics

Durand Jones Lyrics

"The Place You'd Most Want To Live (Interlude)"

If you follow the Mississippi River
As she swivels and turns tightly
Unable to move freely because of the levy
You'll find Hillaryville
A small place in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin

This place was founded by eight slaves who recieved it
As a form of reparations after the American Civil War

Most visitors are still greeted by the tall
Sprite-green, green sugarcane
Basking in the presence of the sun

When asking my Gran
What was it like when she first moved to Hillaryville
Her reply was always the same
"The place you'd most want to live"
