"Peach State of Mind" - Memory Dean

This weekend will be a quick roadtrip down to Carrollton and Atlanta. The reason that I'm coming down, other than Father's Day, is that Dave, the campus minister from WCF, has accepted a call to be a minister at a church in Austell after 14 years. This Sunday at North Avenue Presbyterian is the first of four celebrations of all he did at WCF and Tech. I'm taking a half day on Friday and may stop in ATL for dinner. I'll be at home in Carrollton all day Saturday and will be playing golf with my dad. Sunday I'll be heading to ATL for church and then will be driving back to Raleigh in the afternoon. I hope to be able to see some friends amidst all the traveling. So, in honor of coming home this weekend here's a song by Memory Dean.

Peach State of Mind

I believe I've rolled off a thousand miles today
I still have sand in my shoes from California
Drivin' all alone down that lonely road
I'd call you but I'm almost home

Through the desert and the foot hills
I tried to force my thrills
(I sold everything I own)
Too much time on that yellow line
I see the moon shining through the pines

Arrivin' right on time
(I've got to see what I can find)
When I get to the other side
(Of the Georgia state line)
My pride is swellin'
And how I try not to cry
But you caught me
In a peach state of mind

Under the stars in that west Texas heat
I tried to sing myself to sleep
Dreams of home grew thick in time
And I found myself in a homesick
Peach state of mind

I believe I've rolled off a million miles today
I still have rocks in my shoes from Arizona
Drivin' all alone down that lonely road
I'd call you but I'm almost home

Arrivin' right on time
(I've got to see what I can find)
When I get to the other side
(Of the Georgia state line)
My pride is swellin'
And how I try not to cry
But you caught me in a
Peach state of mind
