This is “West Locust Limity” by Danney Ball.
It’s a song about growing up in Canton, Illinois — about family dinners, neighborhood friendships, scraped knees, laughter echoing through open windows, and the simple rhythms of small-town life. It’s about a time when life felt slower, when everybody knew your name, and when home wasn’t just a place — it was your whole world.
“West Locust Limity” captures those snapshots: the smells, the sounds, the faces, the moments that quietly shape who you become. It’s not just a street name. It’s a memory. It’s a chapter. It’s a foundation.
If you’ve ever looked back at where you grew up and felt that mix of gratitude and longing… this one’s for you.
