South Texas Girl |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
Three in the front seat they sat on each side |
That green-and-white 58 Fairlane it would glide |
Down farm roads past open fields seeming like no big deal |
As it was happening I never felt a thing |
But now looking back it seems like it was everything |
Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing |
Stealing a drink from the cold can in daddy’s lap |
Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack |
And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices |
And they’d sing me a song that the old cowboys sang |
And I didn’t know what the words meant or anything |
I was just singing because I was supposed to Sing Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
And with the windows wide open it felt hot to us anyway |
Three bound together on a day just like any day |
They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me Whatever I wanted from the corner U-tote-M |
They say the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus |
Pronounce it Refugio city folks they don’t know |
It looks like Palacios but sounds like |
Just listen the next time you’re watchin' Sid Lasher |
And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices |
And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang |
And I didn’t know what the words meant or anything |
I was just singing |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
And I didn’t know what the words meant or anything |
I was just singing |
And these days with car seats and open container laws |
Social correctness leaves no room for Santa Claus |
Sitting right next to me she looks like that used to be Song that they sang for me And with the windows wide open it feels hot to us anyway |
Two bound together on a day just like any day |
The wind blows the echoes of long-faded voices |
And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang |
And now that I know what the words mean and everything |
I am still singing |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we stumble around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
Saint Mother Maria watch over us please |
As we wonder around in this dangerous world |
Thank Mother Maria there’s nothing so sweet |
As the undying love of a South Texas girl |
