The Place That I Call Home

A place that is remembered with a Smiling Face...

Also, a plade where people, ad families can disappear without a Trace.

A town rich with Oilfield Money

A town whose underbelly isn't so Funny.

Upon arrival you can almost SMELL the riches.

And when you go a little further, you can almost recognize the snitches.

Almost, but then you think, I've known them all my life.

Your friend or neighbor would never sleep with your wife...

But nothing comes as a surprise anymore ,

give someone the benefit of the doubt 'round here, and you might just end up on the floor.

A place I would come back to to visit "FRIENDS"

Now I try to avoid as I know that it will forever be my end.

All of the locals seem pretty down to earth ,

but only on the surface; You better know your worth!

Cross the wrong someone's path,

And they will surely make you feel their Wrath!

You see, 'Round Here, It aint What you Know, its WHO you know.

And that goes Both Ways,

Who you know determines where you get to stay,

Ane where y0u stay,

Is Really Alol that matters at the end of the day.

I, Myself, enjoy getting to0 see my Mother,

And walking alongside my Brothers.

So, word of Advice,

Keep your mouth shut, If you value Your Life.

Because with All of that Oilfield Money, comes Power.

So much Power it can turn Someome elses Whole Life Sour.

And Ya Better not give 'em any lip,

Or then You'll Surely be making that Trip.

It's Past the Point of NO Return.

But 'Round here, You Gone Learn..

Because what was once Remembered with a Smiling Face,

Is now Tarnished with a Frown Just Knowing that you And Your Family could Disappear without a Trace
