I am from Old Hickory, Tennessee, and look at, huh? Look how far we made it
Our zip code is 37138, and how I was told to remember it was 37 plus 1 equals 38
There is, I've never forgot it, and I don't think you will either
I don't know who does zip codes, probably the government
But when they drove through Old Hickory, they go, "Let's go easy on these people"
Old Hickory is also named after President Andrew Jackson
And I told someone that in an interview, and I said it
I'll just, I'm like used to saying it, so I said it, and the guy stopped me
And he was like, "You know what?" He's like, "Andrew Jackson was a bad guy"
And I was like, "Oh" I was like, "We didn't like know him or anything like that, uh
We didn't move there because we were fans"
I've never been to his house, I don't, I missed it like in fourth grade and I just have never gone
I missed a lot of stuff, we were supposed to go see the White House in sixth grade
And we couldn't go because the Gulf War started
And by the way, I didn't even know we were supposed to go, I only found out we weren't going
But our teacher came and said, "We can't go, the Gulf War started
And they had to put a fence around the White House"
And that was it, never talked about it a day after that
So I just assumed the Gulf War was on the streets of Washington
It had gotten so bad that they finally had to put a fence around the White House
So I go to D.C. for the first time in my thirties, and I was alone
And I go to the White House and I see that fence, and I honestly was like
"I remember when they put this fence up
We had a battle over the Gulf of Mexico"
