lyrics

Tollbooth encounters and knowing the waiters
We’ve all had a hand in our street, in our faces
Meridian street, how its beauty it calls
Former hustle and bustle now library calm

Ah, Meridian

All the chain restaurants, they barely stay open
I walk past them grimly, not daring, not hoping
A parking garage where I was mistaken
Past the great paramount, what was I thinking?

Ah, Meridian

City of culture, city of pride,
Why do you falter, O city of mine?

Soil, my birthplace, the dirt of this land
Humbly keep raising up plants without plans
I can’t surmise the depth of the damage
But builders are right, they all have relocated

Ah, Meridian

City of mine, soil of my birth
I cannot hate you, I cannot be hurt
But when I add all the lost time
I simply wonder, “Mercy, but why?”

City of culture, city of pride,
Why do you falter, O city of mine?

Ah, Meridian

Street and a bicycle, I have grown up
Through oiled asphalt I’ve filled my cup
