Sweet Home Brown County:
by: Mark Berry and Jimmy Green
tune: Sweet Home Alabama

Verse 1:

My wheels keep on turning
Cruising Center Avenue
Now you could go to Hardened Sinners
Or see the saints at HPU

Verse 2:

Take a walk on doen through Old Main Park
If maintainence ever mows the lawn
Then take a ride on down the Thrill Hill
But just make sure your lights are on

Chorus:

Sweet home Brown County
From the Heartland Hall to the old spillway
Sweet home Brown County
It's not Abilene, but that's OK

Verse 3:

Take your girlfriend out to Underwoods
Then watch the lights spell out her name
Then catch a movie at the buck flick
If she calls you cheap, you're the one to blame

(repeat Chorus)
Verse 4:

Go rapelling down suspension bridge
But hope your rope ain't got no slack
'Cause if you die, your girl will kill you
It's a ring by spring or your money back

(repeat Chorus)
