Biografía:
Robbie Fulks, cantautor norteamericano y figura clave en la escena country alternativa. Robbie había comenzado en la banda de bluegrass Special Consensus, con quienes llegó a grabar a finales de los años '80. Más tarde formó su propia banda y acabó por lanzarse en solitario, primero con la inclusión de dos temas en sendos recopilatorios del citado sello, luego con estos 13 temas que desbordan el género constantemente y que poco tienen que ver, a pesar del título, con canciones de amor.

[VERSE I]
E A
Well, just beyond Virginias southern border
E B
Is a land that I am happy to call mine
E A
And I was raised in a house of brick and mortar
B E
In the red clay hills of central Caroline
E A
Now the corn crop there is hardly worth a mention
E B
And the cattle farms are fine but not the best
E A
Its this little leaf we borrowed from the indians
B E
That keeps our state a notch above the rest
[CHORUS]
A E
The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky beyond compare
A B
Alabamas grand, The state not the band
E A
Now the south she has her diamonds, And every one is great
E B E
But North Carolina is a cigarette state.
[VERSE II]
E A
Now the folks in our hometown sure had the habit
E B
They smoked the best home grown the whole year round
E A
They knew what a good time was and how to have it
B E
Because that was a cigarette town
E A
Our neighbour Frank was no high bred man of letters
E B
But he made an honest living off the land
E A
And he put away three packs a day or better
B E
Because he was a cigarette man
[CHORUS]
A E
The Georgia peach is fair, Kentucky beyond compare
A B
Alabamas grand, The state not the band
E A
Now the south she has her diamonds, And every one is great
B B E
But North Carolina is a cigarette state.
[CHORUS SOLO]
A E A B E A B E
[VERSE III]
E A
I took up with a pretty thing from Nashville
E B
Loved her more than even I told her so
E A
She took it between her fingers nice and natural
B E
And sucked it to the filter like a pro
E A
So I gave her a ring and from her pa I swiped her
E B
She gave me a boy I'm happy to call mine
E A
Chain smokes cools and I go out for diapers
B E
In a red brick house in central Caroline
[CHORUS]
