A song that was really big in the US back in the mid 2000s was called Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. It was a great hit until it got thoroughly overplayed, and if you know every lyric like I'll do you'll remember a line towards the end where he croons. If I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free.
I don't know if I get that reference entirely, but according to several people I talked to in the region last weekend, their little plot of paradise is getting popular. Prices are going up, houses are being built and some folks wish new people would stop coming.
