Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nobody's Strange in Lagrange
Here's my transcription of the 2-minute sound sample found at CD Baby:

Well, now, I sometimes hear voices. I don't know what they're for.
I just ain't been right, y'all, since that last Gulf War.
Well, my mama's always toasted, and daddy is deranged.
We're gonna load up the Chevy. Gonna head down to Lagrange.
I said, please, Mr. Callaway, won't you pay off my bills?
I will behave myself if you cure all my ills.
You know, money speaks loudly, but 'round here you can hear it scream.
Nobody, nobody, nobody's strange.
Nobody, nobody, nobody's strange in Lagrange.

Well, now, up in New York City, they all run around like ants.
There are prophets out in the street, y'all, wearin' women's underpants.
But that's not....

[There are several towns named La Grange or Lagrange. Since The Unthinkable is from Georgia, I suppose they're referring to Lagrange, Georgia, the county seat of Troup County, population about 26,000. There is a Callaway Lake nearby.]
