Hillbilly Joe

For my guy friend Doc

He works in a grocery store,

Announcing his need for a person to sack  for each customer who comes up,

Acting like everything is simple

but everyone knows there's more.

I mean there's always more behind the smile & bright eyes of the human flesh right?

 

He's a man by mind but a boy at heart,

Doesn't even notice when girls pay attention to him

Or maybe he does but tries to hide it.

 

He's a mystery to me & sometimes very confusing

but to everyone else it seems he's like a book,

A book that's been read a million times.

Maybe it's just me.

 

He has that deep southern accent.

You know the one,

When you hear it and it carries through rooms & you know it's him.

 

I guess to me he's more but to everyone else he's just your average Hillbilly Joe.

Nothing's perfect,Don't be too harsh please!!
