Lyrics
MOVING TO MAYBERRY

Smack dab in the middle of an urban sprawl
Concrete everywhere and there just ain?t no trees at all
Blue sky just a faded old memory
?Cause these high rises tower over me
How did I end up in this big ol? city
I know greener grass somewhere is calling me
So I?m movin? to Mayberry
I?m movin? to Mayberry
Right now I?m a-wishin? for my fishin? pole
?Cause this six-lane parking lot is moving just a little slow
I can almost smell my Aunt Bea?s apple pie (oh my)
I wanna lose my shoes, watch the clouds go driftin? by
So I?m packin? up ? I don?t care what I?m missin?
There ain?t no other place I?d rather be
Yeah I?m movin? to Mayberry
I?m movin? to Mayberry
Where everybody knows your name
They gossip over lemonade
At the barbershop the good advice is always free
The country church, the corner store
They ain?t changed in twenty years or more
I?m going back and I?m never gonna leave
I?m movin? to Mayberry
I?m movin? to Mayberry
I?m movin? to Mayberry
(a little southern Movin? to Mayberry
(my little small town fantasy)
Movin? to Mayberry
(yeah I?m movin?)
So I?m movin? to Mayberry
Movin? to Mayberry
