about

The second verse contains a few of the theories I’ve heard over the years of how the Mima Mounds came to be. I’d never heard the space aliens one until I started researching this album. Probably true, right? There are more theories on the topic to be had out there.

lyrics

Mima Mounds
South of Oly down toward Little Rock,
the earth goes up and down and round
Mima Mounds
Prairies full of little hills 1 to 8 feet tall
Mima Mounds
Flowers bloom and grasses grow
Where they come from no one knows
Mima Mounds
But humans like to make things up and theories on their origins abound
Mima Mounds

Pocket gophers tunneling for hundreds of years created
Mima Mounds
Volcanic earthquake eruptions shook that ground and created
Mima Mounds
Space aliens' artificial tsunami landscape art created
Mima Mounds
Before the white folk native people buried their kin here creating
Mima Mounds
