After a few days of walking, Floyd reached a new troll territory. He was now in Lonesome Flats, the home of the country trolls. When Floyd went into town; he expected to see the country trolls but there wasn't a troll in sight. He walked around to try and find the country trolls. He ended up in front of a house and decided to knock on the door. When the door opened, a troll with big blue hair, orange skin, horse legs, and a tail answered. "Hey there stranger. What brings you to Lonesome Flats?" the troll asked in a southern accent.

"I'm just passing through. My name is Floyd," he answered.

"Holly Darling. Nice to meetcha." Holly said.

"Um... Where is everyone? The place looks empty." Floyd said.

Holly giggled and told him he needed to wait until the clock struck twelve. She pointed to the clock tower that suddenly rang twelve. Then the sound of a banjo played, Floyd turned to see the leader of the country trolls, Delta Dawn walk out of a building singing a country song.

Delta:

Right outside of this one church town

There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'

Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground

This is God's country


We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen

'Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money

We put it back in the plate

I guess that's why they call it God's country


Floyd then saw a few more country trolls walking out and slowly started to dance.


I saw the light in a sunrise

Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin'

Saved by the sound of the been found

Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you heaven-bound

The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around

This is God's country


Floyd looked back at Holly for an answer on what was happening. Holly explained that every day at noon, the country trolls would come out and sing.


We turn the dirt and work until the week's done

We take a break and break bread on Sunday

Then do it all again

'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah)


I saw the light in a sunrise

Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin'

Saved by the sound of the been found

Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you heaven-bound
