Hickory Hollow Times & County News
Charley Pride

I was sitting on the sofa in my music row apartment

Opening up a letter from my best friend, Silus Blue

He included last week's issue of our tiny hometown paper

With a note that said he finally got his picture in the news


So I started on the front page with the mayor and the bar chief

Driving big old tractors in the founder's day parade

And a story about the JC's annual bake sale at the bar home

Raising money for the orphans, selling cookie and [Incomprehensible]


Got the farming boat, the high school sports

Fishing news and bowling scores

The weather and the ladies' gossip too


Who's left town and who's come home

Who's been born and who's passed on

Who's divorced and who's married who

In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News


It's reported Henry Johnson was seen courting the widow Jackson

Outside in the moonlight on the Moose Lodge patio

Sue Walker said she saw him holding hands in church on Sunday


Holding hands in church reminds me of my old sweetheart, Betty Joan


And right there on the next page grinning like a parson

My old buddy, Silus, in his tux and cowboy boots

And standing close beside him in her bridal gown and diamonds

Betty Joan, my high school sweetheart, the new Mrs. Blue


Got the farming boat, the high school sports

Fishing news and bowling scores

The weather and the ladies' gossip too


Who left town and who's come home

Who's been born and who's passed on

Who's divorced and who's married who

In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News


And you know it makes me happy to see 'em happy too
