SLATON: Today we honor those who honored us some fifty years ago. Lose who gave life and limb for Georgia. And suffered unimaginable degredation. But never defeat. The men of Georgia, and the women of Georgia have never been defeated... LEO: I go to bed at night Hoping when I wake This will all be gone Like it was just a dream And I'll be home again Back again in Brooklyn Back with people who look like I do And talk like I do And think like I do But then The sun rises in Atlanta again... SLATON: They have risen from the ashes of war with honor and courage and strength! LEO: These people make me tense I live in fear they'll start a conversation These people make no sense They talk and I just stare and shut my mouth It's like a foreign land I didn't understand That being Southern's not just being in the South Whan I look out on all this How can I call this Home? SLATON: I am proud to be a Georgian on this day LEO: These men belong in zoos ASSORTED TOWNSPEOPLE: Excuse me! Sorry! Get your souveneirs! Watch your step sir LEO: It's like they've never joined civilization ASSORTED SPECTATORS: Where's the fella with the beer! Mamma that man pushed me! Lucinda! Hey now, fella! LEO: The Jews are not like Jews I thought that Jews were Jews But I was wrong ASSORTED SPECTATORS: You got ballons? I want one! Settle down... I never in my life! I'll take a beer! That Slaton's handsome... LEO: I thought I would be fine But four years down the line With ev'ry word it's very clear I don't belong ASSORTED SPECTATORS: La la la in the land o' cotton LEO: I don't cuss, I don't drawl So how can I call this home? SLATON: Proud that our state is growing and building! LEO: Home calls, and I'm free of the Southern breeze Free of magnolia trees and endless sunshine! Evermore lives the dream of Atlanta But not mine! Not mine ENSEMBLE: We stand together In this great state of Georgia LEO: A Yankee with a college education Who by his own design Is trapped inside the land That time forgot ENSEMBLE: Strong and proud LEO: I'm trapped inside this life And trapped beside a wife Who would prefer that I said "Howdy" not "Shalom" Well I'm sorry Lucille But I feel what I feel And this place is surreal So How can I call this home!
