"Today on our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee we are just north of the parkway intersection with Tennessee highway 412 at the exhibit, SWAN VALLEY OVERLOOK, where you can get a good look at the terrain in the direction south.
"The change in elevation here along the parkway gives it a different feel. Boatmen and Kaintucks returning from Natchez would have been keenly aware of these hills and valleys and would have sensed their journey along the old road coming to an end. Their thoughts must have turned toward home as we hear in this RoadMusic® selection.
(SONG CLIP PERFORMED HERE)
Words that seem so hard to say, they do come easy,
When you are far away.
But when our chance arrives,
We let our chance go by.
This time's the last time
I'm giving up all my holding back.
I'll say all these things to you,
When I get back home.
"On our next program we will look more closely at this land that was once home to the Chickasaw Indian Nation, and we will hear stories of the Indian's forced removal and the 'Trail of Tears.' For Natchez Trace a road through the wilderness, I'm Frank Thomas."
