(Yes, I live on the rez).

Other than that, when I lived away in my twenties I found “Detroit City” and “500 Miles Away from Home” always put a lump in my throat.

My Dad is from a place like this too, and there is no self-consciousness about being from a simple place in the midst of arguably the biggest city in the world.

Probably not (unless you are from the 585?), but I feel that sense of displacement is pretty common. I swear that I only know one person who still lives in my hometown. The Eastview Mall there is huge.

I wish I was from ‘Americana’ by Moe Bandy. That place is waaaaay less depressing.

“The Little Old Lady From Pasadena”–Jan and Dean

That’s the best I could come up with.

My town has around 300 people. There’s a new scandal everyday.
