Story Behind The Song
I grew up in a small town where boozing, partying and casual sex was a way of life for many of the townspeople, and the idea just popped into my head. And there "might" be a few people I know in there as well! Enjoy!!

Lyrics
VERSE: 1
I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN BY THE HILLS
THE TALLEST ONE WAS HOME TO THE COUNTY STILL
YOU HAD TO PARK YOUR CAR AND THEN YOU WALKED AWAYS
DOWN THROUGH THE SWAMP AND UP THROUGH THE HAZE
TEMPTATION WAS THE HOST, INHIBITIONS WERE RARE
THE TOWN WAS POPULATED AND CONCEIVED RIGHT THERE
YOUR STATE OF MIND AND BODY WOULD IMPROVE WITH TIME
THE BOYS AND GIRLS GOT CLOSE AND THEN THE LIGHTS
WENT BLIND
CHORUS: 1
JUDGES, BANKERS LAWYERS
THEIR COUSINS, SONS AND DAUGHTERS
WOULD CONGREGATE, TO CONSUMATE, & DRINK THEIR FILL
ALL WERE WELCOME, AT THE COUNTY STILL
VERSE: 2
I LOST MY INNOCENSE AT THE STILL
LITTLE LANA TOOK MY HONOR AND MY WILL
SHE THREW ME DOWN, WE SQUIRMED AROUND THE GRASSY FLOOR
TOOK A REST, CAUGHT OUR BREATH, AND DID IT SOME MORE
MANY GIRLS & YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND PEOPLE MOVE ON
THE TOWN HAS CHANGED IT'S NAME AND NOW THE STILL IS GONE
IF I COULD GO BACK TO WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
I'D PLAY WITH ALL THE LADIES AND I'D SING IT AGAIN
CHORUS: 2
JUDGES, BANKERS LAWYERS
THEIR COUSINS, SONS AND DAUGHTERS
WOULD CONGREGATE, TO CONSUMATE, & DRINK THEIR FILL
ALL WERE WELCOME, AT THE COUNTY STILL
FINALE:
COME ON DOWN AND PARTY AT THE COUNTY STILL
FEEL THE PLEASURE, THRILLS AND MAGIC ON THE HILL
BRING YOUR STEADY, OR GET READY, MAKE NEW FLAMES
PLAY THE GAME OF LOVE AND SIN, AND EARN YOUR NAME
