Justin: Find Hayes Carll quickly. You are on the right track. People love to argue. I love to bring people together. I don’t care who is better in someone’s mind, my only goal is that my one and only child (son) has music and writers who tell the stories from a perspective that his dad grew up with because I, much like this song, married that girl; married her family and, other than his grandparents (my parents) still being alive and him being the sole heir to 100 acres of rural, gorgeous Missouri backwoods land, he will have no friends or family to go on back home to Stone County too. (If any of you love the mountains and want to see the most gorgeous places the United States has to offer, check out Stone County...it’s about an hour from Oklahoma but a world away in beauty... and I love Oklahoma!) For pictures sake just look at Dogwood Canyon. That isn’t a magical place that was manmade or the only place like it. That’s standard ground along any creek down there.

I think Mark Volk will agree, Bird Hunter or not, it takes someone who "belonged to these hills" to understand the context in which Evan so cleverly paints the picture that many of us country folk find ourselves in when we marry that city girl and her city family. My wife and I have been married 9 wonderful years and have 1 son who is four now...so I haven't had her tell me to leave KC and to head on out to rural Clay County too many times, but I do have an internal struggle with our son being raised a city kid. He belongs to that farm too. I just hope he spends enough time out there with my parents to understand that he is different than his city kid friends.I will say that he has already caught on that Dad isn't quite like his uncles or his little neighbor friends dad's. Heck, my wife thinks I have an accent, but I think it has to do with saying things like "dodged a bullet" and other sayings that you don't learn growing up in a city, whether it be Tulsa or KC.
